The Honest Company announced that former Amazon and General Mills executive Carla Vernón will become CEO, effective January 9, 2023. Through this appointment, Vernón will become one of the only Afro-Latina CEOs at a U.S. publicly traded company, bringing a new era of leadership that reflects the diversity of Honest’s consumers. As CEO, Vernón will be laser-focused on category growth and driving profitability behind the company’s core mission of inspiring everyone to love living consciously. The move is part of a strategic leadership succession plan, as current CEO Nick Vlahos will step down from day-to-day operations after a near six-year tenure and remain on the Board of Directors at Honest.

Ontex improves on the scores achieved in 2021 and earlier. Based on data reported through CDP’s 2022 Climate Change questionnaire, Ontex is one of a small number of companies that achieved the highest ‘A’ rating, out of more than 15,000 companies evaluated by CDP.
