Supporting sustainable supply chains
Partnering with local communities
Building on our strong belief in transparency when it comes to sourcing natural ingredients, we support programmes that encourage suppliers to adopt best practices. As part of this vision, we have worked with the Givaudan Foundation for over a decade to preserve plant species and support local communities.
An example of how we are helping others to restore ecosystem health, even in the face of challenges like deforestation and agricultural expansion, can be found on Mohéli, one of the Comoros islands, where local communities grow a precious species of the ylang-ylang tree. With sustainability in mind, Diptyque is helping install energy-efficient stills and planting trees to regenerate depleted land. We also plant nurseries for firewood used in distillation: such an initiative helps preserve local biodiversity and marks another step towards sustainable forest management.
On the other side of the world, Diptyque helps a cooperative of farmers in rural Haiti who grow vetiver. This initiative supports families' livelihoods and drives the growth of a strategic sector of the local economy. Renowned for its distinguished character, this Fair for Life-certified Haitian vetiver has a delightful fragrance and a positive impact on the environment, helping mitigate erosion of the island's volcanic soils. Additionally, we help maintain three nurseries that provide communities with a diverse range of vegetables throughout the year, generating additional income outside the vetiver harvest period and reducing dependence on the crop.
These programmes reflect our ongoing commitment to developing innovative initiatives with our partner perfumers and composition houses, driven by our strong desire to preserve and protect the environment while improving the living conditions of local communities.
