Proud To Be B Corp™
At L'OCCITANE, we believe in Cultivating change so we can create a fairer, more equitable, more regenerative economy.
One Part Of A Whole
Our vision of the future is perfectly consistent with the B Corp movement, and we share a determination to use business as a force for good. That’s why we’re doing all we can to positively impact people and the planet, focusing on four key pillars: growing nature, revealing its wonders, crafting sensations, and acting locally to make change globally.
What Is B CORP?
Launched in the United States in 2006, B Corp is now a global movement. Becoming a B Corp is a powerful lever for companies to work towards a more equitable, inclusive and regenerative economy. For us, it’s about more than obtaining a certification; it’s a unique change to join an international community of businesses who are committed to continually finding new ways to improve their social and environmental impact.
Three Areas Where We Go Beyond
We stood out For our fair trade partnerships that involve working closely with communities. The reduction in our environmental impact, and the actions we have taken to cultivate change for people.
Supporting Our Producers in Ways that last – And ways that matter
The fair relationships we have with our producers put people first and help ensure economic stability for small farming businesses. We believe beauty goes beyond what the eye can see. L'OCCITANE works directly with over 140 producers and 10,000 pickers - from the Immortelle fields of Corsica to the lavender fields of Provence - to ensure that the ingredients we use are of the highest quality and sourced as sustainably as possible.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact
One of the main ways in which we are reducing our environmental imapct is through our ambitious "Reduce, Recycle, React" multi-pronged programme, aimed at minimising waste, and through waste reduction measures implemented in our factories in France.
Cultivating Change For People
Since 1976, our philosophy has remained unchanged: people and nature matter. We care for people and we show this through the work of our dedicated teams. Thanks to their actions, we've been supporting women's entrepreneurship in Burkino Faso, fighting avoidable blindness, and helping new parents as they navigate important new chapters in their lives.
