Goals

As the largest beauty retailer in the U.S., Ulta Beauty is committed to using the power of beauty for good to leave a positive legacy for people and the planet. One of their strategies to influence brands to increase their sustainable packaging. To advance the company's sustainable packaging goal that 50% of packaging will be either recyclable, refillable, or made from recycled or bio-sourced materials, Ulta Beauty enlisted Amber Wright to develop short-term and long-term strategies based on detailed industry analysis.

Additionally, these tools help prioritize actions necessary to achieve the company's organizational goal by 2025.
