L’Occitane Group Achieves a New Milestone in Its B Corp Journey

L’Occitane Group has made further progress in its B Corp certification journey under B Lab’s new Standards, with entities within the Group’s certification perimeter achieving certification or recertification under the new Standards. 

This marks a significant milestone in the Group’s ongoing work to strengthen its practices across governance, people and environmental topics.

Raphaëlle Archambeaud-Sicot, L’Occitane Group Chief Sustainability Officer, said: 

“Responsible business is never static. The new framework encourages us to strengthen our governance, deepen our environmental and social impact and continue learning year after year. That spirit of continuous improvement remains at the heart of our approach.”

Across its portfolio, the Group continues to advance its B Corp journey. Several entities within the Group have already achieved certification or recertification under the new Standards, with further brands progressing towards their respective certification milestones. 

Under the new Standards, businesses are required to meet specified requirements across seven Impact Topics, subject to the applicable assessment and verification process. 

Independent third-party audits, periodic subsequent audits, and increasingly rigorous requirements reinforce that being a B Corp is an ongoing commitment rather than a one-off achievement.

Milestones will also be communicated by the individual brands. This reflects the Group’s ongoing commitment to enhancing social and environmental performance across its businesses.

The accomplishment follows the Group’s first certification in 2023 and recognizes the progress made over the past three years. More importantly, it marks the next stage of a continuous improvement journey under a significantly more rigorous certification framework.
