FORMULATING A BETTER FUTURE

Future Made Better is our journey toward reducing our environmental impact and improving the
communities we serve. Working toward a healthier planet means Kiehl’s is creating more responsible formulas with
renewable ingredients and sustainable packaging, while improving the materials we use in our stores.

DOING OUR PART

More than a mission, Kiehl’s Does is responsibility in action. It’s what we’re doing now to generate less waste and respect
the environment. We're always aiming to do better, from the formula ingredients we use to the packaging materials we choose.
