We’re inspired by the energy and insights coming out of the CosmoPet International Congress this week, where our CEO Jim Lamancusa delivered a keynote on the future of sustainability in the pet industry. 🌍🐾 We’re honored to work alongside so many committed partners across the globe. Real change happens when we work together toward real, practical solutions for pets, people, and the planet. Check out Jim’s full reflections below. ⬇️ #PetSustainability #CollectiveImpact #PSCCommunity #ProgressOverPerfection #SustainablePetIndustry #CosmoPetCongress
What an honor it was to keynote speak at CosmoPet International Congress in Paris today. I was truly blown away at how well this conference was run. It never hurts when they do it in a castle! Some key takeaways: 1. The Pet cosmetics sector is booming. Pet parents want to bath and groom their pets with the same level of clean ingredients that they themselves use. 2. This closely aligns with the sustainability metrics that we see. Pet parents treat read the ingredient label more for their pets than they do themselves. 3. Relationships matter. I was mobbed after the presentation with companies looking for community and authenticity. Don't underestimate the business benefits that come with authentic relationships. 4. Sustainability legislation isn't going anywhere. The EU has two major regulations that will stamp out greenwashing and require sustainable packaging by 2030. It is a business advantage to make the switch now. Within 5 years, everyone will be doing it. Special thanks to the amazing team at Pet Sustainability Coalition for holding down the fort while I'm away!
