L'OCCITANE Group

Meet Benjamin D., Training and Engagement Specialist, L'OCCITANE Germany – and our newest DE&I Ambassador...  “In my role, I support, structure, and plan the training and development of our employees in the Düsseldorf office. I also generally make myself available to my colleagues as a sympathetic sounding board.  “Germany is an exciting country in terms of DE&I, as Germans are known for their attention to detail. We think critically, seek to understand things, and love our traditions. As a country with high immigration rates, we have a very multicultural, colourful, and open society – and we’re proud of that.  “I try to learn a little about DE&I every day. Be it via social media or in person, I relish exchanging ideas with friends, colleagues, and people around me.  “In general, I believe that to promote real acceptance and inclusion, one must meet people where they are, allowing for personal exchanges and space for questions (yes, even the critical ones!).” #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #LOCCITANEGroup #BCorp

We know that family is everything... ❤️  Today marks the UN International Day of Families – a special day to highlight the important role that families hold in our communities. At L’OCCITANE Group, we know that family is everything, which is why we take such a strong stance on parental leave. By offering every single employee our Inclusive Global Parental Leave Policy, we support women, promote diversity, and ensure that all new parents have the best possible start to family life. Our policy offers:  🍼 A minimum of 20 weeks fully paid leave for primary caregivers.  🍼 A minimum of 12 weeks fully paid leave for secondary caregivers.  🍼 And of course, this applies to all families, whether they are welcoming a child by birth, adoption, or surrogacy. We hope you enjoy spending some time with your loved ones today! 👪👩👧👨👨👧 #LOCCITANEGroup #ParentalLeavePolicy #BCorp

The future of farming is fair trade... ⚖️ It’s World Fair Trade Day – and that’s something we take very seriously indeed... After gaining fair-trade certification for its Shea products in 2009, L’OCCITANE en Provence has been awarded 100% fair-trade certification of its Verbena, Rose, and Cade collections through the Fair for Life program. These certifications, awarded in 2023, formalize our brand’s longstanding commitment to helping producers to embrace new farming practices – and we plan to achieve fair-trade certifications for all the brand’s iconic product lines by 2025. #LOCCITANEenProvence #LOCCITANEGroup #fairtradebeauty #regenerativefarming

Beauty products should help keep our planet beautiful too... 💐 In 2023, L’OCCITANE en Provence updated its Clean Charter – a comprehensive list of ingredients to not use, as well as those which should be used in moderation, to be in line with the most cutting-edge advances and emerging eco-challenges. We’re constantly engaging in a never-ending search for natural formulas that minimise the impact of products on the environment – something we’re very proud of as a Group.  Here’s how we consider our impact when developing our formulas:  🔎 ASSESS: We identify and monitor improvements in product development.  🌎 REDUCE: We minimise the environmental impact of formulas.  ❌ AVOID: We replace ingredients that can harm biodiversity. 🛀 CLEAN: We increase the natural ingredients used in our formulas.  Learn more about our eco-design formulas in our 2023 L'OCCITANE Group ESG Report here: https://lnkd.in/ebDvaJTn #MotherEarthDay24 #LOCCITANEGroup #cleanbeauty #BCorp
