OUR COMMITMENT TO RESPECTING BIODIVERSITY
As part of our global commitment to help regenerate our land after the devastating bushfires in early 2020, L'OCCITANE has partnered with the charity partner for Australia's National Parks, the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW), to restore natural habitats, native vegetation and support wildlife rehabilitation efforts across Australia.

Funded by the L’OCCITANE Ecosystem Restoration Fund, created in early 2020 by the L’OCCITANE Group to support ecosystems that are severely affected by natural disasters, we will donate $228,000* to FNPW as part of an initial two-year commitment. These funds will be dedicated to planting seedlings in bushfire recovery nurseries in affected areas around Australia, with the goal to plant one million trees over the next five years.
* This amount is based on current exchange rates of a set €75,000 per annum donation over the two-year commitment from the L’OCCITANE group. The $AUD amount is subject to variance based on the exchange rate at the time of donation.
PLANTING ONE MILLION TREES
FNPW, along with global reforestation nonprofit, One Tree Planted, announced the project to plant one million trees across bushfire affected areas on World Earth Day in April.
The non-government organisation, which has been operating for over 50 years, funds conservation projects across Australia to safeguard wilderness and wildlife for future generations.

At L’OCCITANE we are truly saddened to see the devastation from the bushfires that has destroyed the beautiful landscape, native wildlife and communities of Australia. It is our wish to offer some hope and contribute to rectifying this national tragedy for the generations to come.
With the initiative of planting native trees, we will continue to work towards replenishing and nurturing the ecosystem which helps preserve natural resources, prevents soil erosion and creates animal habitats.
REDUCING WASTE
In today's world, any responsible company has a duty to do all it can to reduce waste and prevent pollution. The future of our planet depends on our actions today! At L'OCCITANE, we've been focusing on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle for many years, and we're working on more!
SUPPORTING PRODUCERS
Our ingredients – and therefore our producers – are the lifeblood of L'OCCITANE. Were it not for their hard work, dedication and skills, we wouldn't be able to create such unique, authentic products. Dialogue, respect and transparency lie at the heart of our relationships with our producers.
