L'OCCITANE Launches Ecosystem Restoration Fund

Alongside these ongoing efforts, L'OCCITANE seeks to be able to respond to environmental disasters as they unfold. The Group has pledged to set up a support fund of €400,000 to help finance long-lasting projects dedicated to the regeneration of severely damaged ecosystems. €200,000 will be donated as an immediate contribution to tree-planting and agroforestry schemes to help restore Australia's landscape over the next 10 years. The projects will be carefully chosen by the L'OCCITANE Foundation, together with the company's agricultural engineers and its operational teams in Australia. With this, L'OCCITANE deepens its commitment to its existing global tree-planting initiative in partnership with PUR Projet.

Reinold Geiger, CEO of the L'OCCITANE Group, said: "We are truly shocked and saddened to see the devastation from the recent fires that have destroyed beautiful landscapes, native wildlife and communities in different parts of the world. As responsible business leaders, we cannot just sit back and watch. We need to do our part to help rebuild a healthy ecosystem for the sake of the generations to come."
