L’OCCITANE Group

A different kind of economy is not only possible, but necessary… 🌍 You’ve probably heard a lot about them recently – but what is a B Corp?   A B Corp is a company that has met the highest standard of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency, set by the B Lab. Since forming in 2006, B Lab have worked to harness the power of business as a force for good. And now, their mission is to transform the economic system into a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative global economy.  And by becoming a B Corp, and joining the B Corp Movement, companies like ours stand alongside coalitions, policymakers, activists and organisations to work towards this shared vision for a better, brighter future. 🌍🌍🌍 #bcorp #regenerativeeconomy #LOCCITANEGroup #ethicalbusiness

How are we making an icon of Provence resilient and sustainable? 💜💜 With regenerative agriculture, we’re putting into action what we’ve learnt – that we need to work with nature and not against it, in order to protect the climate, biodiversity and support our farmers.  Since 2012, L’OCCITANE has supported Provence’s Lavender Endowment Fund, sponsoring its ‘Green & Lavandes’ program. The fund supports research and development programs and aims to find the best and most ecological solutions. By uniting producers, manufacturers and regional players, we’re working towards three key aims:   💜 To fast-track research into diverse varieties to fight climate change and diseases. In 2021, after nine years of research, two new resilient varieties of white and blue lavender, “Mila” and “Eternelle” were planted over 100 hectares of land.  💜 To support the development of agroforestry and plant covers.   💜 To reduce the impact of activities connected with farming, such as using greener harvesting machines and less energy-consuming distillation equipment.  #LOCCITANEenProvence #lavender #regenerativeagriculture #regenerateoursoils

L’OCCITANE Group DE&I Ambassador, Dawn, is passionate about lifting people up and seeing them shine in their own right...  “My name is Dawn Speaks and I’m the Director of Leadership and Performance, North America for LimeLife by Alcone. My primary responsibility is supporting thousands of independent business owners, as well as being the key catalyst in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion for women of colour at LimeLife by Alcone. “I always remind myself that my purpose is to empower and inspire people and honour my commitment to having people around me win! I strongly believe that it’ll be the consistent work of those committed to DE&I that will be impactful. DE&I is the way it SHOULD be, and not a trend. “Equality means each person or group is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognises that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. We must begin with equity to reach equality!”  #DE&I #limelifebyalcone #ethicalworkplaces #loccitanegroupmission

Sometimes, it takes a village... 🏘️ That’s the theme of this years’ UN World Humanitarian Day – that it can take a global village to support those experiencing a crisis. So today, we’re showing our appreciation for the collective endeavour of those who give so much to help others. Since 2013, the L’OCCITANE Foundation has supported the work of Sightsavers in Burkino Faso, as they strive to eliminate onchocerciasis (also known as river blindness) and trachoma in the Cascades region. Both diseases, if left untreated, can cause incredibly painful symptoms and irreversible blindness – but thankfully, our decade long partnership has resulted in more than 674,000 people receiving expert sight-saving care. Our sight is precious, and we’re proud to support such an incredible team of people, who go above and beyond to protect others from harm.  Thank you Sightsavers – we’re truly honoured to be a part of your village! #LOCCITANEfoundation #sightsavers #UNWHD2023
