We are an inclusive organisation that works within an ethical framework to represent the interests of its members regardless of age, ability, gender, race, religion or culture. We work to engage politicians and business leaders about the value of the sector to the national economy and its key role in the UK’s creative and cultural character. Our mandate is to push the key business and political agenda of the industry at Westminster with an expert-backed group representing all sectors from manufacture to media, supply to logistics, and retail to professional services. The British Beauty Council promotes the interests of people and companies engaged in all sectors of the beauty business. It advises on policy to deal with issues impacting on the industry, and engages in political lobbying to ensure new legislation benefits its members.
