Discover 5 ways Takara Belmont is pioneering change and helping your salon achieve its sustainability mission
In the last decade, the salon industry has transformed its approach to sustainability. Embarking on a mission for real and meaningful change, eco-salons have trailblazed the path to greener and more environmentally considerate ways of doing things.
Rather than following an eco-trend, the salon industry has led a culture change that reflects client expectations for more natural and sustainable products, and greater environmental responsibility. Recycled and reclaimed materials are now commonplace in salons while repurposing and upcycling is an accepted norm. When it comes to equipment, salons are focussing on quality, longevity and technology to achieve waste and energy reduction, while simultaneously enhancing their services and client experiences, and supporting the well-being of clients and staff.
Long before this evolution gathered pace, environmental considerations were always at the heart of Takara Belmont. Over more than a Century the company has pioneered new technologies and materials, innovated more efficient manufacturing processes and focussed on making their equipment more enduring, reliable and efficient.
Here are just 5 ways Takara Belmont continues to support salons on a shared mission to create a more sustainable salon industry around the world.
5 ways to achieve your sustainability goals
A sustainability ethos focussed working together for a brighter future
By prioritising climate responsibility across their global business, Takara Belmont continues to show leadership by building an industry in partnership with salons that works in perfect harmony with the planet. They are successfully achieving this by developing new materials and technologies, and sourcing components in the most environmentally considerate way. Takara Belmont’s mission is to minimise environmental impacts and contribute to the health and well-being of clients and staff by empowering individuals and nurturing communities, as it challenges convention by creating manufacturing facilities and logistics frameworks that contribute to a brighter, more harmonious future.
A commitment to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)
SDGs are a blueprint set out by the United Nations to achieve a more sustainable future for all by addressing global challenges such as climate change, inequality and poverty. Takara Belmont is committed to achieving these goals, which includes gender equality, education, clean energy and climate action. Just one example of how they are reaching their SDGs is by using renewable energy and installing solar power generation at their Osaka plant and HQ in Japan.
What Takara Belmont is doing in the UK
Takara Belmont UK observes the company’s global mission while initiating change on a national level. As part of their sustainability drive, they are moving away from paper processes, introducing recycling initiatives, supporting local communities and charities, and they have established an Employee Assistance Programme that focusses on mental health and well-being, first-aid responses and promoting multi-cultural events. They are also committed to creating a workplace environment that promotes a positive and inclusive culture.
Longevity – achieving sustainability with products that stand the test of time
By creating products of enduring quality, design and performance, Takara Belmont is helping salons reduce waste by minimising the need to replace and repair equipment. As salons embark on their own sustainability mission, Takara Belmont products are increasingly chosen for their longevity and experience enhancing qualities. Salons such as Butchers, Limoz Logli and Ena Salon, that are founded on eco-values and sustainability principles, regard Takara Belmont’s innovative equipment and hair care technologies as key to their mission for a greener, more eco-conscious salon environment.
Innovation – saving salons money through increased efficiency
