ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

KANZEN Skincare
Perfect Ten Skincare and Cosmetics Ltd.

Effective Date: 14 September 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

At KANZEN Skincare, we recognise that the beauty and personal care industry has a responsibility to reduce its impact on the environment.

From the ingredients we select and the products we formulate to manufacturing, packaging, fulfilment and transportation, environmental considerations form an important part of how we operate and how we plan for the future.

Our ambition is to build a globally recognised skincare business while continuously looking for practical, measurable ways to reduce unnecessary waste, use resources responsibly and improve the environmental performance of our operations.

This Environmental & Sustainability Policy sets out the principles that guide our approach.

2. OUR COMMITMENT

KANZEN Skincare is committed to operating responsibly and continually improving our environmental performance.

We aim to:

  • Reduce unnecessary consumption of resources

  • Minimise waste throughout our operations

  • Increase recycling and responsible waste management

  • Consider environmental impact during product development

  • Improve the efficiency of our manufacturing and operational processes

  • Make responsible packaging decisions

  • Work with suppliers who share appropriate environmental standards

  • Reduce pollution risks

  • Improve energy efficiency

  • Comply with applicable environmental legislation and regulatory requirements

  • Measure and review our environmental performance

  • Explore new technologies, materials and processes capable of reducing our environmental footprint

We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing process rather than a single destination. Our approach will therefore continue to evolve alongside our business, technology and the availability of better environmental solutions.

3. RESPONSIBLE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Environmental considerations should begin before a product reaches the customer.

Where reasonably practicable, we consider environmental impact during the formulation, development, testing, manufacturing and packaging of our products.

This includes considering:

  • Ingredient selection

  • Raw material sourcing

  • Manufacturing efficiency

  • Water and energy requirements

  • Packaging formats

  • Product durability and stability

  • Transportation requirements

  • Waste generated during production

  • End-of-life considerations for packaging

Our objective is to develop effective skincare products while continually identifying opportunities to reduce unnecessary environmental impact.

4. RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

We aim to use water, energy, raw materials and other resources efficiently throughout our operations.

This includes reviewing our manufacturing and operational processes to identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary consumption.

Where appropriate, we will explore technologies and processes capable of improving resource efficiency without compromising product quality, safety, regulatory compliance or performance.

5. PACKAGING

Packaging plays an important role in protecting cosmetic products, maintaining product stability and ensuring products reach customers safely.

At the same time, we recognise the environmental impact associated with packaging production and disposal.

We therefore aim, where technically, commercially and environmentally appropriate, to:

  • Reduce unnecessary packaging

  • Avoid excessive secondary packaging

  • Explore recyclable packaging formats

  • Consider recycled materials where suitable

  • Improve packaging efficiency

  • Reduce unnecessary material weight

  • Explore refill, reuse and alternative packaging technologies where appropriate

  • Work with packaging suppliers developing lower-impact solutions

Any changes to packaging must continue to meet the safety, stability, quality and regulatory requirements applicable to cosmetic products.

6. WASTE REDUCTION

Our approach to waste is based on the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle wherever reasonably practicable.

We aim to reduce waste at source by improving forecasting, manufacturing processes, inventory management and packaging decisions.

Where waste cannot reasonably be avoided, we seek appropriate opportunities for reuse or recycling before disposal.

Waste requiring specialist handling will be managed using appropriate processes and contractors in accordance with applicable environmental requirements.

7. MANUFACTURING

We recognise that manufacturing is one of the areas where environmental improvements can have a meaningful impact.

We therefore seek to continually improve the efficiency of our production processes.

This may include:

  • Reducing unnecessary production waste

  • Improving batch and production efficiency

  • Optimising water consumption

  • Improving energy efficiency

  • Reducing unnecessary cleaning and processing waste

  • Improving raw-material utilisation

  • Reviewing manufacturing technology as better solutions become available

Environmental improvements must not compromise the safety, efficacy, stability or regulatory compliance of our products.

8. POLLUTION PREVENTION

KANZEN Skincare is committed to preventing pollution arising from our operations wherever reasonably practicable.

We seek to identify and appropriately manage potential environmental risks relating to:

  • Wastewater

  • Chemical handling

  • Waste materials

  • Air emissions

  • Spillages

  • Storage

  • Transportation

  • Soil and water contamination

Where potentially hazardous substances are required, they should be stored, handled and disposed of responsibly and in accordance with applicable requirements.

We will continue to investigate safer or lower-impact alternatives where these are technically appropriate.

9. RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Our environmental responsibility extends beyond our own facilities.

We expect suppliers and manufacturing partners to comply with applicable environmental legislation and encourage them to demonstrate responsible environmental practices.

When commercially and technically appropriate, environmental considerations may form part of our supplier selection and review process.

These considerations may include:

  • Responsible sourcing

  • Manufacturing practices

  • Packaging

  • Waste management

  • Environmental certifications

  • Transportation distances

  • Material traceability

  • Energy and resource efficiency

We recognise that responsible procurement requires balancing environmental considerations with product safety, performance, quality, availability and regulatory requirements.

10. INGREDIENTS AND RAW MATERIALS

We continually evaluate the ingredients and raw materials used within our products.

Where suitable alternatives exist, we may consider factors including environmental impact, sourcing, traceability, biodegradability and manufacturing requirements alongside efficacy, safety and regulatory compliance.

We will not compromise product safety or performance simply to make an environmental claim.

Environmental claims relating to particular ingredients or products should be supported by appropriate evidence.

11. ENERGY AND CARBON

We aim to improve energy efficiency throughout our operations.

Where appropriate, this may include:

  • Monitoring energy consumption

  • Improving equipment efficiency

  • Reducing unnecessary energy use

  • Reviewing heating, cooling and lighting requirements

  • Exploring renewable energy

  • Considering lower-energy manufacturing processes

  • Improving operational efficiency

As our business grows, we will continue to evaluate appropriate methods for understanding and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operations and supply chain.

12. TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS

As a business serving customers and partners across multiple markets, transportation and logistics form part of our environmental footprint.

Where commercially and operationally practical, we seek opportunities to improve logistics efficiency through measures such as consolidated shipments, improved forecasting, efficient packaging and appropriate distribution planning.

We will continue to evaluate opportunities to reduce unnecessary transportation and associated environmental impact as our distribution network develops.

13. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY

Environmental responsibility is shared across our organisation.

We aim to provide employees with appropriate information and guidance so that environmental considerations can form part of everyday decision-making.

Employees are encouraged to identify opportunities to:

  • Reduce waste

  • Improve efficiency

  • Conserve resources

  • Reduce unnecessary consumption

  • Improve recycling

  • Suggest more sustainable processes

We want environmental improvement to be driven not only by policy but by practical ideas from the people working throughout our business.

14. INNOVATION

Innovation is central to KANZEN.

We believe science, formulation technology and manufacturing innovation can contribute to reducing the environmental impact of beauty products.

We will therefore continue to investigate emerging technologies, materials and manufacturing processes that may allow us to improve product performance while reducing waste or resource consumption.

Where appropriate, environmental impact will be considered alongside efficacy, safety, consumer experience and commercial viability when evaluating future innovation.

15. ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS

We are committed to communicating responsibly about sustainability.

Environmental claims made about our company, products, ingredients or packaging should be clear, accurate and capable of being substantiated.

We seek to avoid vague, exaggerated or misleading environmental claims.

Where environmental benefits relate only to a particular component, material or aspect of a product, we aim to communicate that distinction appropriately.

16. COMPLIANCE

KANZEN Skincare aims to comply with applicable environmental legislation, regulations and other environmental requirements relevant to our operations.

We will review our obligations as our business, manufacturing activities and geographic footprint evolve.

Where appropriate, we will maintain records and procedures necessary to demonstrate compliance.

17. MEASUREMENT AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

We recognise that meaningful environmental progress requires measurement.

As our environmental programme develops, we aim to identify appropriate performance indicators across areas such as:

  • Waste

  • Recycling

  • Packaging

  • Energy

  • Water

  • Manufacturing efficiency

  • Transportation

  • Raw material usage

Where appropriate, objectives and targets may be established against these indicators.

Performance will be reviewed periodically so that opportunities for further improvement can be identified.

18. COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGAGEMENT

We believe businesses can make a positive contribution beyond their immediate commercial activities.

Where appropriate, KANZEN Skincare may support or collaborate with community organisations, educational institutions, charities, environmental initiatives and other organisations working to create positive environmental or social outcomes.

We will seek partnerships that are credible, relevant and capable of creating meaningful impact.

19. RESPONSIBILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION

Responsibility for environmental performance extends throughout KANZEN Skincare.

Management is responsible for supporting the implementation of this Policy, while employees and relevant contractors are expected to follow environmental procedures applicable to their work.

We will communicate relevant requirements to suppliers, contractors and business partners where appropriate.

20. REVIEW

This Environmental & Sustainability Policy will be reviewed periodically and may be updated as:

  • Our operations expand

  • New technologies become available

  • Environmental legislation changes

  • Our supply chain develops

  • New environmental objectives are established

  • Better environmental practices become available

Our objective is continuous and measurable improvement rather than static commitments.

OUR COMMITMENT

KANZEN Skincare believes that building a successful global beauty company and acting responsibly towards the environment should not be competing ambitions.

We want to create better products, through better science, using better processes, while continually working to reduce the impact we leave behind.

Our responsibility is not simply to meet today's standards, but to continue questioning how tomorrow's beauty products can be made better.
