GOAL #4 QUALITY EDUCATION In ZENZ salons, we offer in-house further training through ZENZ Organic Academy, which includes a management training for hairdressers. As mentioned before, we also help young women in Kampala, Uganda, via the PlanBørnefonden, to get a hairdressing education. GOAL #5 GENDER EQUALITY We are in favor of 100% equality in terms of gender, religion or other differences. We are a company where the majority of our employees at all levels are women, not because they are women, but because they are the best at their jobs. GOAL #6 CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION The ingredients in ZENZ Organic Products do not harm the groundwater - neither during the production phase nor during the use phase. In our ZENZ salons, we do not use products that affect our groundwater or deteriorate its quality. We use Nordic Swan ecolabelled products, a certification that our own product line carries. GOAL #7 AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY We buy energy from sustainable forms of energy, and help to ensure that a larger share of more sustainable energy is used in the Danish electricity grid. GOAL #9 INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE We are proud to be able to influence the standard in the beauty industry in a positive direction, as well as to inspire the industry to develop and further develop sustainable ingredients and technologies for our beauty products and salons. GOAL #10 REDUCED INEQUALITIES We take pride in paying a fair salary to our employees. We fight to reduce inequality in all areas, by supporting the Planbørnefonden and other projects and organisations working to reduce inequality. GOAL #12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION At ZENZ Organic Products, we work to ensure sustainability in all processes, and we always take responsibility for the outside world. We try being a good example and in our communication, we strive to influence our employees and customers to act more sustainably. With ZENZ Organic Products, you get multifunctional products that are also economical in use, just as you can refill your products in our salons, which makes it possible to reduce the total consumption of beauty products. GOAL #14 LIFE BELOW WATER We take active responsibility for cleaning up the world’s oceans by helping to remove plastic to improve the environment in the world’s oceans and rivers through a partnership with Ocean Waste Plastic, who collect plastic 1:1 against the packaging weight of our products. GOAL #15 LIFE ON LAND The majority of our packaging from our products is made from recycled plastic from consumers and industry, just as our customers can refill their empty ZENZ products in our salons, so that the use of new plastic is reduced. In collaboration with Re-Plastic in Copenhagen, the empty packaging is recycled and made into displays and furniture for our salons. In addition, we also have waste sorting and return schemes so that waste does not land in nature. GOAL #17 PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS We continuously collaborate, locally and globally, with organisations who, like us, work to support the sustainable development goals. These organisations include PlanBørnefonden, Dansk Folkehjælp, Mødrehjælpen, Knæk Cancer and UNICEF. 14
