Clarins We Care

We aim to make life more beautiful and, beyond that, to use our passion and determination to make the world a better place and restore its beauty. True to these principles, our CSR strategy blends with our corporate strategy. Both are a driving force behind our Clarins We Care approach. We want it to be exemplary, for you, for us, for society and for the planet.

Clarins We Care

Clarins we care is the approach that brings together all of our initiatives and commitments to society and the environment for a big-picture view. It urges us to honor our twofold promise—caring for people, caring for the planet—every single day.

Stakeholders

With the introduction of “Client Cards” in 1954, Clarins has always placed listening, observation and a collaborative approach at the heart of its model.

Quality & safety

Taking care of people means designing products where efficacy is synonymous with safety, naturalness and transparency.

Acts of solidarity

We support various organisations that work every day to help the people who are most in need.

Protecting nature and biodiversity

Across the world, we encourage, finance and support initiatives that respect nature and protect biodiversity.

Circular economy

Reduce, reuse, recycle. These are the principles we strive to apply in the design, manufacture and distribution of our products.

Plants and ingredients

Since 1954, we have been committed to preserving the plants that provide us with most of our active ingredients.

Environmental impact

We continue to act within all areas that may have an impact on our environmental footprint.

Employees

They are our number one assets and primary ambassadors. Therefore, we are committed to ensuring that our HR policies are exemplary.

our twofold promise

Caring for people

We listen and act to forge strong ties to all of our communities: our employees, who benefit from an exemplary HR policy; our customers, whom we support with advice and skincare products that are as innovative as they are effective; and society at large, where we aim to cultivate equity and solidarity via awards, initiatives and a foundation which we have backed for many years.

Caring for the planet

Nature inspires us and guides our actions. Plants lie at the heart of our products, and we know that we owe them much. That’s why Clarins is fully committed to organic agriculture, sustainable sourcing, responsible purchasing, ecodesign for all packaging, fair trade, agroecology, reforestation and more.

For everything we do, we weigh what our actions cost the planet against what they give back.

In terms of respecting people and the planet, we set out to be exemplary, a standard which we apply to our entire corporate strategy. The commitments we make allow each person to measure our progress and expect concrete results.

Committed to a better tomorrow

Aiming to achieve concrete results, we have based our approach to continuous improvement on measurable milestones. They guide our decisions and set the framework for our performance—for you and for the planet.
