The Body Shop has no current sustainability reporting, targets, or verified data under Auréa Group ownership (since September 2024). Its last 2022 report is now orphaned; B Corp certification is under review. The company collapsed into administration in February 2024, harming suppliers and workers, while still using petrochemical ingredients including microplastics.
