OUR COMMITMENTS

L’OCCITANE develops products that are increasingly respectful of both mankind and the world we live in.  We produce eco-refills and much of our packaging is made with recycled materials or uses resources that are renewable or from sustainably managed forests.  We strive to minimize our carbon footprint by limiting the use of air transport, promoting the use of renewable energies and, wherever possible, transporting our goods by sea, rail or road.  We promote biodiversity through sustainable growing practices and increasingly natural formulas: 92% of the products launched in 2016 contain at least 90% natural ingredients, while 57% contain over 95%.   

Provence is a rich land, with its breathtaking, diverse landscapes, its untouched natural beauty, and its ancestral skills and traditions. Through various local initiatives, L’OCCITANE supports and highlights the men and women who breathe life into this region, with the desire to preserve and pass on their expertise and knowledge of nature. In return, this land offers us ingredients of the finest quality, which we use in our products made in Provence, to delight and stir your senses. 

Since 1980, L'OCCITANE has been working with women from Burkina Faso producing shea butter, by offering them logistic support and co-development. In 2006, the L'OCCITANE Foundation focused its actions on supporting women's entrepreneurship in order to promote the emancipation of women from Burkina Faso. To date, more than 30,000 women have received support in the development and reinforcement of their activity!
