Sustainability
Preserving and regenerating biodiversity
Our business depends on nature. Driven by our entrepreneurial spirit and guided by our Mission – ‘with empowerment we positively impact people and regenerate nature’ – we are committed to investing in biodiversity and finding sustainable solutions in order to create a better and healthier planet.
Our beauty and well-being products take inspiration from nature. This is why we have taken action for more than 40 years to preserve and restore nature.
Today we are at a turning point in tackling biodiversity loss. To contribute to a nature-positive future, we seek to develop beneficial ecosystems in and around fields. We aim to develop regenerative approaches to protect and restore biodiversity in collaboration with our partners and nature, and drive change for our business ecosystem and beyond.
OUR ROADMAP:
- Improving the eco-design of our formulas
- Promoting sustainable sourcing of raw materials
- Reducing the impact of our production on water and land

Delivering dramatic changes to mitigate the climate crisis
The fight against climate change is a global issue that demands efforts from all of us. Businesses will be key to meeting the target recommended by the Paris Agreement of avoiding global warming of more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Climate change also directly affects our supplies of natural raw materials. It is our responsibility to contribute to fighting climate change by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions produced by our activities.

Creating opportunities and empowering all people in our communities
At the L’OCCITANE Group, we place people at the heart of our business. The Group’s mission – with empowerment, we positively impact people and regenerate nature – applies as much to our own employees and those in our value chain as it does to our customers.
We strive to create a safe, inclusive and motivating workplace by ensuring fair pay, supporting well-being, promoting diversity and offering opportunities for learning and development. Our B Corp™ certification reflects this commitment and reinforces our ambition to drive positive impact.
Beyond our direct teams, we are dedicated to respecting and promoting human rights across our supply chain. Through due diligence processes, supplier assessments and ongoing engagement, we identify and mitigate potential risks. Our Human Rights Policy, aligned with international standards, strengthens our approach and ensures dignity and fairness for all workers involved in our operations.
As part of our B Corp™ mission to use business as a force for good, we are committed to providing a Living Wage that ensures our employees and their families can meet basic needs and live with dignity based on the local cost of living. We work closely with established organisations, such as the Fair Wage Network and the Living Wage Foundation, to maximise the positive impact of our living wage policies and ensure fairness and transparency.
