Clean Makeup Line Saie Doubles Down on Sustainability Focus With Climate?Initiative
Saie is upleveling its commitments to the planet, starting with a deepened partnership with RePurpose Global.
The brand, founded in 2019 by Laney Crowell, is strengthening ties with RePurpose to collect 5 million pounds of plastic over the partnership’s three-year duration. “We are collecting plastic in over four countries across five coastlines,” Crowell said, adding that it will provide jobs to more than 2,000 women and impact more than 50,000 people in those areas.
“We’ve chosen to have these projects be women-led, so those 2,000 women will have increased income, social security and health insurance,” she continued. That jibes with another previous cause Saie was involved in. In 2022, Crowell teamed up with 36 other brands on the Every Body Campaign, which raised money for SisterSong, an organization that aided women impacted by abortion bans in the U.S.
