Contributing to sustainable development
The Summa Beauty & Lifestyle Hair Care team wants to show everyone what sustainable development means in the hairdressing profession.
The UN has established seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. These goals are intended to make the world a better place for everyone. In hair care programs, you'll contribute to achieving several of these goals, for example, in the areas of waste, health, food, water, or climate.
Examples are Reducing water pollution, using fair-trade suppliers, separating hairdressing waste to reuse raw materials in collaboration with Green Scissors, and much more. It's inspiring to participate in this together with your fellow students and colleagues.
