Comments: Privately-held Groupe Rocher (GR) was founded by Yves Rocher in 1959 and today, his grandson, Bris Rocher, is CEO. GR was founded on the idea of “botanical beauty,” and remains rooted in that philosophy. Last year, the company received a Gold Award for its societal, environmental and social commitments by Ekopo.fr. The Ekopo awards recognize the companies that carried out the best campaigns and strategies, and developed the best solutions to create a positive economy based on ethical and sustainable innovations.
Sustainability plays a critical role at GR. Forestry waste biomass accounts for 90% of GR’s heating needs. The remaining 10% comes from biogas. Compared to a conventional gas boiler, the company says use of biomass saves 1,400 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year. Interestingly enough, the Yves Rocher Foundation has planted 100 million trees and is committed to planting 35 million more by 2025. To help protect the global water supply, the company supports the Water Family, an association which educates children about the importance of water.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Sabon, the company’s patchouli, lavender, vanilla scent. The fragrance is available in 180 stores in Israel, Europe, Asia and the US.
Arbonne, part of Rocher, is a founding member of the B Beauty Initiative, the coalition of Certified B Corporations worldwide dedicated to advancing social and environmental impact in the beauty industry.
