The CTFA adopts a multi-level and formalised approach in understanding and listening to the cosmetic industry concerns. These platforms enable the CTFA to interface and work with industry to direct and drive industry specific mandates with government and stakeholders both locally and globally. These platforms are:
Technical Committee Meetings
Technical Committee Meetings support the CTFA’s internal technical direction, oversee the activity of technical sub-committees (Working Groups), and recommend to the Executive Committee positions for the association to take on technical and regulatory matters, support association during stakeholder engagement, lobbying and any other technical and/or regulatory aligned activity and assisting in the development of Codes of Practice and/or Practice Guidelines that are relevant to the needs of the cosmetic industry and in line with global practice.
