The L’Occitane Group, a pioneer in premium sustainable beauty and wellness, is now a certified B Corporation.
The milestone builds on the group’s commitment to creating positive change by empowering the communities it invests in, protecting biodiversity, reducing waste and mitigating climate change.
“We warmly welcome the L'Occitane Group to our community of over 6,900 innovative companies catalyzing a more inclusive and regenerative economy,” said Jonathan Normand, executive director of B Lab Switzerland. “Their commitment to biodiversity and sustainable value chain is commendable and aligns with B Movement interdependence principles. The L'Occitane Group is not only enhancing their own impact, but also working to transform the beauty industry with other B Corps. We applaud their dedication to using business as a force for good.”
During its two-year journey to certification, the group rigorously evaluated its impact on all its stakeholders – including employees, the wider community, suppliers, customers and shareholders, as well as the environment – in its offices, factories, stores and supply chain.
“We have championed sustainability since 1976,” said Adrien Geiger, chief sustainability officer at the L’Occitane Group. “Today we are incredibly excited to join this group of businesses that share our ethos – harnessing the power of business to build stronger communities, reduce economic inequality, and create a more sustainable environment for everyone.”
