When Marcia Kilgore created Beauty Pie, it was to inspire our customers to get more out of life, starting with a high-performance Swiss moisturiser and fabulous Italian lipstick. She wanted to build a beauty company and create a wave - doing it all again (Kilgore is a five-time serial entrepreneur) but doing everything better: better quality products for better prices, packaging choices that were better for the environment, better treatment of people and a better way to give back to the community that has always supported her ideas.
Here’s where we are (and we’re just getting started).
Our People and Community
Community: We’ve joined Pledge 1%, a global movement to create a ‘new normal’ for companies of all sizes and stages to have a positive social impact through their business. We’re proud to announce our commitment to set aside 1% of our equity to sustainably fund charitable and social impact efforts long-term.
In the meantime, we are proud to partner with charities such as Magic Breakfast in the UK and Food Bank for NYC in the USA - both of which work to end food insecurity.
People: Innovation and creativity come from having a diverse workforce and a nurturing environment that offers merit-based opportunities for all. We’ve implemented training to foster inclusive working practices, company-wide representation for all members of our team, and an open forum for feedback and change.
Our Products
Our goal has always been to work with suppliers whose standards are as high as ours. As we continue to scale, we recognise that our exposure to supply chain risks naturally evolves. We remain vigilant, constantly refining our internal processes, advancing our supplier risk oversight, and actively collaborating with external partners to prevent, detect, and mitigate any such abuses. All new suppliers undergo a strict ‘due diligence’ process, which includes an audit of their supply chain ethics, and a commitment to our code of conduct and anti-bribery policies.
Our packaging team is focused on a drive toward fully circular packaging, and we’ve committed to reducing the amount of packaging, paperboard, and virgin plastic we use per product. We are targeting an increase in our usage of post-consumer recycled plastics, year-on-year.
Beauty Pie is, and always has been, cruelty-free.
The Planet
Sustainability drives many of our day-to-day choices, and we are implementing ongoing sustainability-led reduction initiatives across our offices and operations. Elements of this strategy are at different stages of maturity, but we are committed to sharing more details of this plan in the near future. We recycle, sort waste, filter water, and have motion-sensored lighting in our offices.
We have placed particular focus on reducing airfreight, as a key area where we can improve our environmental performance. We are proud that we reduced our use of bulk airfreight by 70% (by volume; over the period Apr 2024-Mar 2025 vs Apr 2025-Mar 2026)
We have an ongoing investment in a carbon offsetting program, to offset emissions associated with our last mile package delivery. Each year, we calculate the associated emissions and offset them with vetted and reputable offsetting projects.
Corporate Governance
We take our obligations around cybersecurity and data privacy seriously, to protect our customers, our stakeholders, and our business.
We are a female-founded brand, and Over 70% of our leadership team is female.
We provide employee training on governance issues, and our Board of Directors regularly reviews our Environmental, Social and Governance status.
