"Our passion for the health of our planet and fearless approach to innovation empowered us to take the next important step for our company," says Arnaud Meysselle, Chief Executive Officer at REN Clean Skincare. "Today we are adding Clean to planet to our brand purpose so that it becomes:

"With its environmental commitment, REN Clean Skincare is helping to support the protection of clean water and healthy beaches."
Today, REN Clean Skincare will again pioneer in the Prestige Skincare Industry by announcing its pledge to work towards ZERO WASTE by the year 2021, an initiative challenging the industry to move in a more environmentally conscious direction. This pledge focuses on all packaging and REN Clean Skincare will achieve this with the following in mind: Reduce, Reuse Recycle.
REDUCE means that all unnecessary packaging will be removed.
REUSE means that where possible packaging will be created to be re-usable in another form or re-fillable.
RECYCLE means that all packaging will be 100% recyclable and that REN Clean Skincare will use recycled materials making sure that they can be recycled again.
Hugo Tagholm, CEO, Surfers Against Sewage adds, "Surfers Against Sewage is thrilled to be working with REN Clean Skincare on the Clean To planet programme, delivering community initiatives for plastic-free coastlines and clean seas in our new UK-wide partnership. We welcome their commitment to reduce, reuse, recycle and reinvent packaging, and to support protecting beautiful beaches through our national network of beach clean volunteers. Together, we'll be tackling plastic pollution from source to sea."
This is just the beginning. REN Clean Skincare's next Clean to planet initiative news will follow for Earth Day 2018.
