VALUES AND COMMITMENTS

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

At Panouge Group, our commitment to sustainability is ingrained in our identity as a family business passed down through generations. With a profound view toward the future, we continually assess our processes and operations to understand their impact on the environment. This generational view serves as a driving force behind our sustainable efforts, compelling us to operate in a way that considers the world that future generations will inherit.

Sustainable Approach

Our brands are dedicated to infusing sustainability into every facet of our product creation, from inception to the end of a product’s life cycle. This commitment reflects our aspiration to embrace a more circular approach, ensuring that our impact on the environment is conscientious and enduring.

Reducing Single-Use Materials

We place a high priority on minimizing the use of single-use materials. In line with our sustainable goals, we have adopted the use of recyclable materials when possible without compromising the quality that defines our products.

Ecological Transportation

Our main transporter and historical partner, Colissimo, is a leader in responsible e-commerce delivery, renowned for its exceptional ecological performance. Colissimo measures, reduces, and compensates for the residual CO2 emissions of its activities. Colissimo Home Delivery has achieved an “A” ecological score, thanks to its extensive use of electric vehicles, which form the largest fleet in Europe. By optimizing and consolidating deliveries, Colissimo has reduced the carbon footprint of parcels by 42% between 2013 and 2022.

By offering our customers the option to choose Colissimo for their deliveries, we enable them to make a more environmentally friendly choice. This partnership significantly contributes to our efforts in reducing carbon emissions and minimizing our environmental impact.

Responsible Sourcing

Our brands actively collaborate with local producers, cultivating partnerships that supply our perfumers and flavorists with pure, natural, and sustainable ingredients. This commitment sets elevated quality standards, providing daily inspiration and delight to our customers while underscoring our responsibility to the environment.

Panouge Group is unwavering in its dedication to seeking new partnerships and adopting innovative processes to ensure the highest quality ingredients with a profound environmental focus. As part of these efforts, our most recent creations have incorporated a very specific kind of extract known as LMR.

Laboratoire Monique Remy (LMR) founded in Grasse, embodies the guiding principle of delivering premium 100% pure and natural extracts and upholds complete transparency, and a resolute commitment to environmental sustainability. For more details about LMR, click here.
