A collaboration between sustainability-forward skincare brand Kiehl’s and Urban List, the initiative celebrates 30 individuals who will change the world by 2030 across sustainability, community, innovation and technology sectors.
29 of the 30 Faces, including Clothing The Gaps founders Sarah Sheridan and Laura Thompson, AGNT BLAK founder Bianca Hunt, sustainable designer Jordan Gogos and sexual consent advocate Chanel Contos, were curated by Urban List and Kiehl’s while the 30th and final face was decided by Urban List readers. The search amassed over 500 quality entries within a month, unearthing an impressive list of young Australians doing incredible things.
Urban List head of studio, Elise Cullen, is proud of the partnership with Kiehl’s and says the curated 30 Faces are a reflection of who Urban List readers are and who they want to see represented, “We’re entering Generation A—the era of the activist. We have no choice but to make activism part of the fabric of our daily lives and be the change we want to see.”
L’Oréal senior digital brand manager, Mitch Goodall, said Kiehl’s dedication to a future made better mirrors the need for advocacy, representation and ultimately change in the beauty space, “Future Made Better is our journey to reducing our environmental impact and improving the communities we serve. Empowering the next generation of change-makers is critical to this mission. We’re proud to shout loudly about our partnership with Urban List and the incredible faces representing Generation A.”
30 Face recipient Hannah Diviney, who’s disability advocacy work includes a global petition to create a Disney Princess with disabilities, is honoured to be among the esteemed list, “Having this recognition of my work and advocacy is really, really special and I’m so grateful for this platform to continue expanding people’s expectations of what disabled people, particularly women, can do.”
