Opposites attract

How can opposites work well together? From differences in opinion, culture, being, or doing. Why is there an attraction for the singular?

There is richness in the difference. And I think the more our perception is challenged - by the unfamiliar -, the better it is for our growth in the long run.

What if we considered product development and sustainability in the same way? With a curiosity for the unknown.

It seems there is a current disengagement with sustainability, for a loss of meaning. What will it take to find our way back into it?

With re/sources, we bring you insights and reports to INSPIRE you on the future of sustainability in beauty, so instead of imagining it, you can build it and market it accurately! Join the movement…or book a demo.
