Impact, special achievements & commitmentsLe groupe L’Occitane contribue à développer des filières d’ingrédients durables

Le Groupe a choisi la nature comme source d’inspiration et s’appuie sur les propriétés naturelles des plantes pour le bien-être de ses consommateurs. Une équipe d’experts agronomes est dédiée à la sécurisation durable des filières de plantes stratégiques. Elle travaille en lien direct avec les producteurs à l’amélioration continue de ces filières.
ENGAGER NOS FOURNISSEURS DANS RELATION DURABLE ET RESPONSABLE
Pour les ingrédients clés, le Groupe construit des partenariats de confiance et de long terme, qui se concrétisent si possible par des contrats pluriannuels avec nos producteurs. Ces contrats leur garantissent des préfinancements jusqu’à 80% de la commande, un volume d’achat avec un prix rémunérateur agréé entre les parties. Un travail est actuellement mené pour certifier ces filières d'ingrédients stratégiques en commerce équitable afin de pérenniser ces pratiques vertueuses et de les faire auditer par un tiers pour s'assurer de leur bonne application.

4 filières du groupe sont engagées dans la démarche de commerce équitable contrôlé selon le référentiel « Fair For Life »* : le karité au Burkina Faso, l’Argan, la Coco et la fleur d’Oranger au Maroc.

L'Occitane Group contributes to the development of sustainable ingredient chains.

The Group has chosen nature as its source of inspiration and relies on the natural properties of plants for the well-being of its consumers.

A team of agronomic experts is dedicated to ensuring the sustainable supply of strategic plants.

They work directly with producers on the continuous improvement of these chains.

ENGAGING OUR SUPPLIERS IN SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE RELATIONSHIPS

For key ingredients, the Group is building long-term, trust-based partnerships, which take the form of multi-year contracts with our producers, where possible. These contracts guarantee them pre-financing payments of up to 80% of the order, a purchase volume with a remunerative price agreed between the parties. Work is currently underway to certify these strategic fair trade ingredient chains in order to perpetuate these good practices and to have them audited by a third party to ensure their proper application.

Four of the group's chains are involved in the fair trade process, controlled according to the Fair for Life* certification: shea butter in Burkina Faso, Argan, Coconut and Orange blossom in Morocco.
