The term sustainability originates from forestry. It describes the principle whereby no more wood should be harvested than can grow back at the same time. Over recent decades, in the wake of growing awareness, this core idea has reached broad areas of our lives. The topic of sustainability has long since encompassed not only the environment, but also human health. After all, the interactions between an intact natural world and our well-being are plain to see.
Climate change, polluted oceans, insect decline, pesticides in the food chain … this list of threats to the environment and risks to humanity could go on indefinitely. At present, we can experience – as directly as rarely before – the effects of massive human intervention in nature through the coronavirus pandemic. The displacement of wild animals from their natural habitats has greatly favoured, if not actually caused, the jump of the virus to humans. The consequences of this have been delivered to us, so to speak, right to our doorstep.

quite a few people feel pretty overwhelmed by these challenges. After all, alongside global threat scenarios, everyone is also moving within their own microcosm. Life doesn't simply stand still for the individual, even in the face of world events. Career, business, family, personal health – these are also issues that keep us on our toes day in, day out, demanding answers from us daily.
when it comes to professional hair care products, the situation is no less complex. As a manufacturer, Varga Hair has a responsibility towards the environment, on the one hand. But first and foremost, of course, it is about the needs of the customers. After all, everything that is done must be suitable for everyday use in hairdressing salons. „We have had paraben- and formaldehyde-free products in our range for some time,“ says Karl Varga Sr., „and Varga Green now expands our offering to include the aspect of ecological sustainability.“ Varga Green therefore encompasses products that are well tolerated by the environment and humans alike – while at the same time being economically viable. Ensuring this balance is no less important. The term sustainability has long since become a key concept in economics as well
In this spirit, Varga Hair is expanding its range of ecological products step by step. Elisabeth Varga also sees a very personal component in Varga Green: „As parents and grandparents, an intact environment is a deep concern of ours, an essential need. For the future belongs to the coming generations. Preserving the foundations of life for those to come is simply our duty.“
Since Varga Hair, the world has fundamentally changed. Ecological awareness has sharpened among large parts of the population. Consumers are increasingly critical and, above all, much better informed thanks to the internet. Today, research findings are accessible to most people—including the opportunity to participate in the discourse. Karl Varga sen.: „With today's knowledge, we certainly would have done many things differently in the past. Who, for example, was thinking about microplastics ten years ago?“ company founder Karl Varga sen. asks himself self-critically. „The ecologically compatible interaction between humans and the environment requires continuous readjustment. It is all the more important that we look towards tomorrow in the light of today's insights.“
so that creation is preserved, health is maintained and the world remains worth living in is infinitely long. As an individual person or an individual company, one is, of course, only a small cog in the great wheel. However, that is no reason not to assume responsibility within the scope of one's own capabilities.
„For us,“ says junior boss Karl Varga, „it is not only ecologically, but also economically imperative to consistently expand Varga Green. Because with the coming generation of hairdressers at the latest, the question of ecological sustainability will present itself in a completely different way. Fridays for Future has shown that young people are much more reflective on ecological and ethical issues than we were when we were growing up. And that is a good thing, too.“
