Developing a Nature-Based Solutions Business Model for the Cosmetics Industry

新冠肺炎通过引导投资流向国家统计局，将市场领导者转变为有意识的土地管理，Pilio将催化化妆品供应链的中断。NBS是保护/恢复/管理自然和半自然生态系统以应对社会挑战的活动(IUCN，2020)。我们的创新是一个SaaS平台与创新的NBS项目嵌入融资模式，使行业领导者能够识别/衡量/过渡到采购可持续生产的原材料。Pilio将在化妆品行业建立经济和社会生态弹性，特别关注改善破坏性作物(可可脂、棕榈油和广霍香)的生物多样性。在这个项目中，我们将为棕榈树、可可和广霍香供应链开发一套NBS算法。该算法将处理全球环境数据(例如，项目数据(元数据、基线、干预措施的影响)和财务数据(原材料的经济评估、干预措施的成本效益分析)。生成的算法将成为决策工具的基础，以根据成本和收益选择项目，监控其影响，并决定其融资结构。为了开发解决方案，我们与Lush Fresh手工化妆品公司、BSR、MapShubs、Quick Start Consulting和专家顾问Bronson Griscom博士(自然保护国际解决方案总监)和Mehjabe博士(L欧莱雅化妆品可持续发展顾问)合作。Pilio是一家环境可持续发展创新软件服务公司，诞生于2011年牛津大学环境变化研究所。Pilio已成功将能源和碳管理软件商业化，作为服务平台，使企业能够降低能源成本和碳足迹。该团队由女性创始人凯瑟琳·博特里尔领导，并由不同的贡献者组成的团队提供支持。

Pilio will catalyse the disruption in the cosmetic supply chain due to COVID-19 to transition market leaders to conscious land management through directing the flow of investment to NbS. NbS are activities to protect/restore/manage natural and semi-natural ecosystems to address societal challenges (IUCN, 2020).Our innovation is a SaaS platform combined with an innovative NbS project insetting finance model that enables industry leaders to identify/measure/transition to sourcing sustainably-produced raw materials.Pilio will build economic and socio-ecological resilience within the cosmetic industry, with a specific focus on improving biodiversity in destructive crops (Cocoa Butter, Palm Oil and Patchouli).In this project we will develop a set of NbS algorithms for palm, cocoa and patchouli supply chains. The algorithm will process global environmental data (eg. soil carbon, water regulation, nutrients); project data (metadata, baseline, impact of the intervention); and financial data (economic assessment of raw materials, cost benefit analysis of interventions). The resulting algorithm will form the basis of a decision making tool to choose projects based on cost and benefit, monitor their impact, and decide on their financing structure.To develop the solution we are working with Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, BSR, Mapshubs, Quick Start Consulting and expert advisors Dr. Bronson Griscom, Director Nature-based Solutions, Conservation International) and Dr. Mehjabeen (Sustainability advisor to L'Oreal Cosmetics).Pilio is an environmental sustainability innovation software service company born out of the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute in 2011\. Pilio has successfully commercialised an energy and carbon management software as service platform to enable businesses to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint. The team is led by a female founder, Catherine Bottrill, and supported by a diverse team of contributors.
