L'OCCITANE Group

Global & Local: Our Environment, Community, and Customers... How is our company prioritising and taking care of the planet, and giving back and contributing to the community? And how is our company having a positive impact on our customers’ lives? Here’s a few key examples... Environment: Our Group climate strategy is aligned with the Net-Zero Standard and has validated science-based targets (Science Based Targets initiative) with the ambition of limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. On a local level, our factories in France are reducing waste, reducing water and energy consumption with a long-standing environmental management system (EMS). Our factory and warehouse in Brazil also uses solar panels and electric truck deliveries. Community: In 2019, L’OCCITANE Group implemented a global sustainable procurement programme named #NotJustSuppliers. It aims to manage CSR risks within its supply chain and its suppliers’ sustainability performance at scale. Locally, and aligned with the Group’s priorities, heritage, core values and communities, each brand has built its own philanthropic commitments. Our brands’ philanthropic actions can be based on financial support, in-kind donations, volunteering, or a combination of all three. Customers: For all our customers on both a global and local scale, our factories in France ensure quality process and certifications, compliance with international standards and industry bodies, alongside a centralised complaint resolution service and external audits certified by the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) – ensuring rigorous quality and safety controls for all of our products.  #LOCCITANEGroup #BCorp #environment #customercare #community

Supporting communities after a natural disaster... At 11pm on September 8th, 2023, Morocco was struck by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. Millions of people were affected, with widespread destruction to livelihoods, homes, and vital public services.  The L’OCCITANE Foundation, in collaboration with non-profit organisation ACTED, provided direct assistance in the villages most severely affected by the earthquake, by supplying both water aid and essential goods. Our financial contribution came in just over €56,000, and we were able to support around 7,400 people who needed help.  Certainly, an achievement we can all be proud of.  #MoroccoEarthquake #LOCCITANEFoundation #LOCCITANEGroup #BCorp

Global & Local: Our Governance and Employees... When it comes to governance, how do we make sure our company considers all stakeholders? And how well are we taking care of our employees? Here are few key global and local examples from across the entire L’OCCITANE Group...  Governance: Social and environmental sustainability objectives have been integrated into staff bonus schemes worldwide, to ensure sustainability is part of decision-making on a daily basis – and to ensure continuous progress in all business units.  Locally, in the Asia–Pacific region, sustainability objectives and incentives have been integrated into all staff performance objectives.  Workers: Since 2012, the Group has taken part in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) barometer, which identifies a company’s strengths in terms of well-being in the workplace, while highlighting areas for improvement.

We’re now committed to reaching a score of 70%.  More locally, an employee support hotline has been set up across Japan, Europe, and the Asia–Pacific regions to support employee well-being and support mental health.  And initiatives have been put in place in the UK to empower women and families, such as menopause support, including referrals to occupational health for expert advice, and paid time off for employees undergoing fertility treatment and in case of pregnancy loss, including resources for concerned line managers.  #LOCCITANEGroup #BCorp #governance #employeewellbeing
