Description

Since it was founded, L’OCCITANE en Provence has supported initiatives to help others and protect the environment. In 2018, based on these solid foundations, L'OCCITANE decided to define six key areas of actions: Respecting Biodiversity, Supporting Producers, Reducing Waste, Empowering Women, Caring for Sight and Celebrating Craftsmanship.

The L’OCCITANE Foundation’s priority is to protect people's eyesight by funding eye care all around the world (screening, glasses, treatments, surgeries, equipment and training). It is also committed to promoting female leadership in Burkina Faso by supporting women with entrepreneurial projects and helping with their emancipation. It is committed to empowering women in Burkina Faso and promoting their independence by financing projects to promote the access to education for girls with disabilities, orphans and displaced populations and supporting women in their training and entrepreneurial projects. Finally, the Foundation supports initiatives that aim to conserve biodiversity.
