Our Manifesto

The legacy of our founder, Gaby Aghion, and her forward vision of femininity continues to inspire our long-term commitment to uplift women, rebalance gender-based inequalities, and promote inclusivity. Our goal: creating beautiful products with meaningful impact for people and for the planet.

We know that we need to take immediate environmental actions while there is still time, which is why we are already engaged in changing what needs to be changed and finding alternatives whenever possible.

Our plan is ambitious; and our aim is to extend it to every level, and every individual, within our sourcing and supply chain, our activities and our communities, with women as change agents, inspiring and engaging us.

We have committed to transform our operations and shift our mindset through efforts in everyday practices. We want to improve social and environmental sustainability with greater transparency and accountability. This section will be regularly updated with our progress.

While we are aware change does not happen overnight, and that the change takes many forms, we are dedicated to this exciting journey. We are ready to act for a fairer and more sustainable future together.

Our Approach

Our B Corp certification, which we achieved in October 2021, shows our intention to shift to a purpose-driven model. We commit to concrete changes in our day-to-day activities at all levels of the organization. To achieve this, we set ambitious objectives each year based on four pillars: Fair & Equal Opportunities for our people, Responsible Sourcing, Positive Impact on Communities, and Impact on the Planet. Measurable objectives are published in this section for each pillar. This roadmap is inspired by our Environmental Impact Report and by our materiality analysis.

We have also created a dedicated sustainability governance structure, comprising our board with external advisors, Elisabeth Laville and Lubomila Jordanova, who will hold us accountable to these objectives. We commit to embrace this purpose in all we do.

As social impact is a key pillar of our approach, we are currently working with the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) and the Conseil National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) to develop a methodology for a social profit and loss account. While research is only just beginning, we plan to make an open-source version of the tool once it is ready.
