The YES YES Company joins Provenance®- the global leaders in sustainability marketing technology

YES® believe each of us deserves to know the facts about how products are made and their impact on people and planet. With the rise in ‘greenwashing’ in the beauty and wellness industry, the need for transparency and claim-verification has never been more important. That’s why we’ve joined Provenance – the global leaders in sustainability marketing technology.  

Provenance® aims to protect shoppers from greenwashing using ‘Proof Points’, connecting 'green' claims to evidence from the supply chain or third-party verification. Their goal is to drive positive change through transparency, helping customers to make informed buying choices.  

How do we work with Provenance? 

Provenance® is helping us (along with more than 200 other brands) share credible, compelling and fact-checked social and environmental impact information with brand and product Proof Points. Proof Points are interactive icons representing a claim about a business or product. You’ll find these across our website and in particular, our product pages.
