Likewise, in early 2025, we were awarded the Bronze Medal from EcoVadis with a score of 67/100, reflecting the solid quality of Valquer Laboratories’ sustainability management system.
In addition, Valquer Laboratories actively collaborates with ECOEMBES in the responsible management of packaging. In 2024, our contribution to the SCRAP (Collective System of Extended Producer Responsibility) helped to avoid the emission of 118.92 tons of CO₂ equivalents, save 829.59 MWh of energy, and preserve 1,100 m³ of water, according to the 2024 Environmental Footprint Certificate issued by ECOEMBES. These results reflect our strong commitment to the circular economy and to reducing the environmental impact of our production processes.
This ensures that our natural dermocosmetic products meet the highest standards of management, planning, organization, control, and safety.
At Valquer, our focus is not only on developing vegan and sustainable cosmetics but also on minimizing environmental impact at every step of our production process. Some of our environmental initiatives include:
- Green Energy: We use photovoltaic panels to produce up to 80% of our dermocosmetic products with green energy.
- Effluent Treatment: We have a specialized plant for treating industrial liquids, ensuring that the water discharged into the public sewage system is clean and safe.
- Sustainable Mobility: We incorporate electric vehicles with multiple charging points to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Recycling and Waste Reduction: We implement continuous recycling of paper, plastic, and cardboard in collaboration with authorized companies, and strive to develop zero-waste cosmetics, reducing or eliminating the use of plastics.
Our commitment to innovation in dermopharmacy and cosmetics drives us to continuously develop health and beauty products that not only meet the most rigorous quality standards but also promote sustainability and environmental care. We invest in R&D to launch innovative and natural dermocosmetic products, aligned with the needs of our clients and the planet.
