Should Beauty Companies be more concerned about the environment than other industries?

    According to this article L'Oreal has been given the best rating for its work on environmental and social issues by the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation?).  Unfortunately, L'Oreal's rating was only a C+ on an A-F scale.  
    But it seems to me that the beauty industry is held to a higher standard than say the book printing, or food or a wide range of other industries.  I really don't understand why this is true.
    Do you think beauty companies should be held to a higher standard than other companies when it comes to environmental and social issues?

    No, I don't. If it is true that beauty companies are held to a higher standard, then I imagine that the rationale behind it would be that beauty products are identified as frivolous compared to food and books and therefore the companies that make them should be doing less to harm the environment than those companies that make what are considered to be necessities.

    I agree with Pas. Nevermind that almost everyone uses (or should use) products made by those companies;  soap and antiperspirant aren't frivolous in my opinion.
