Aude Charbonneaux, Head of Climate and Environment

We share a world of finite resources, under huge pressure. We minimise waste at every step by imagining, producing and distributing our products and experiences in ways that optimise and help preserve natural resources.

In moving towards a more circular business model, we’re actively working to preserve and regenerate our natural resources at every stage in our value chain - from how we source raw materials to how our products are produced and manufactured and then ultimately reused or recycled.

We’re consistently working on reducing our carbon emissions and adapting our business to ensure resilience in the face of climate-related risks. In our own operations, we are improving energy efficiency, implementing new technologies and alternative energies, and procuring renewable electricity for our sites and offices. We are also working closely with our supply chain to help reduce our carbon footprint linked to packaging and agricultural materials, as well as logistics.
