Sol de Janeiro achieves B Corp™ Certification, marking a new milestone in its responsible growth journey
Sol de Janeiro has achieved B Corp™ Certification for the first time, marking an important milestone in the brand’s evolution and its commitment to continuously improving its social and environmental performance as it grows globally.
The certification also represents continued progress across the L’OCCITANE Group portfolio. It follows the Group’s recent B Corp™ recertification under B Lab™’s new Standards and reflects a broader commitment to advancing social and environmental performance across its businesses.
Chief Executive Officer, Sol de Janeiro
Achieving B Corp Certification is a meaningful milestone for Sol de Janeiro and a testament to the work happening across our entire organization. Since joining the company, I've been impressed by the priority placed on growing responsibly while staying true to our values. This certification gives us an important framework to continue challenging ourselves, measuring our progress and finding new ways to continuously improve our social and environmental performance as we grow.
Sol de Janeiro is certified under Version 1.6 of the B Impact Assessment, which assesses a company’s impact across areas including workers, community, environment, customers and governance. During the certification process, the brand demonstrated particular strength in its people-focused practices, including employee engagement and diversity and inclusion.
Beyond certification, Sol de Janeiro continues to put its commitments into action through the Sol de Janeiro Foundation. Established in 2024, the Foundation focuses on two core areas: the regeneration and conservation of biodiversity and the empowerment of young women worldwide. It currently supports 13 partner organisations working on long-term, community-rooted initiatives, from protecting and restoring Brazil’s Atlantic and Amazon Rainforests to expanding access to clean water, education and opportunities for young women around the world.
For Sol de Janeiro, B Corp Certification represents an important step in an ongoing process of measuring and improving its impact. As the brand continues its global growth, the framework provides a foundation for further progress across its social and environmental practices.
As part of the L’OCCITANE Group’s broader B Corp journey, Sol de Janeiro’s certification marks another step forward in advancing responsible business practices across the Group’s portfolio.
