Cosmetica Italia Sustainability Project

Dal 29.05.2018 al 29.08.2018

Cosmetic Industry and sustainability throughout the life cycle From the business point of view, sustainability represents a success factor to boost competitiveness and innovation. For companies, contributing to the “sustainable development” means to be responsible and engaged in harmonizing economic, environmental and social goals. Coherently with the European cosmetic industry, the three pillars of the project will endeavor: 1- to reduce environmental impact through supporting more ecological production techniques, reducing waste, emissions, energy and water consumption throughout a product life cycle; 2- to generate economic benefits through high-value and growing jobs; the cosmetic sector provides direct and indirect high-value employments to two million people and contributes in a relevant way to the economic growth in Europe; 3- to increase the social value of the cosmetics products and to support the centers in which these products are manufactured (including the value chain) or purchased.

Interview with Katy (Meng-Hsuan) Chiu

Which module of the Master’s program has been the most useful for your job? Actually, I think that overall, the modules are all quite helpful. Therefore, I did Business Plan and we had many different subjects. What I liked the most about Padova University is (the fact) they always invited professors from different countries and from different universities. It is really a great opportunity to meet American professors or from different places and the experts from industry, so I remember at that time a girl from EFCM working in L’Oréal came to our class to talk to us about the job and the industry. I think these are the most useful things for me cause most of us never worked in a fragrance house before the program so during the second year is good to know more about how it’s going on, and I liked the diversity of different professors, different places, different field of expertise, regulation, creation… it’s really nice Do you remember any amusing episodes? We always go out together. It was a small group and so we always stayed together. If there was a party or a trip, we always went together. We were very close so it was fun. We spent Halloween party together; we went in Venice for the carnival. I remember the first one was in Padova where there was a big Carnival Party and then the second year we went to Venice wearing the Carnival masks; it was really fun and memorable. Now with the same group of people who are not in the same place anymore you can never get this kind of experiences together. What are your tips for future students and juniors? Never be afraid to try. Sometimes we think a lot about “is it good for the future?” or “is it helpful for me?” but whatever we learn on the way will be helpful at some point in the future. Everything you can get you can learn, so just do not think and do not say, “This is not my job, I don’t do this, and this is not what I am responsible for”. You are the one gaining the experiences and gaining the abilities.
