Observatory on the Performance of Firms in the Cosmetics and Fragrance Industry

The research program aims to develop a permanent observatory on firms operating in the cosmetics and fragrance industry, with a specific focus on business model analysis, economic‑financial performance and ESG practices. The observatory will collect and integrate quantitative and qualitative data from financial statements, sustainability reports, corporate disclosures and market sources. It will map the main business model configurations (brand positioning, distribution channels, pricing policies, investments in R&D and digital) and assess their relationship with profitability, capital structure and medium‑term value creation. In parallel, the project will design sector‑specific ESG indicators, paying particular attention to environmental aspects (ingredients, packaging, supply chain), social issues (working conditions, inclusion) and governance profiles (disclosure quality, ownership and control structures)
