COMMITMENTS

PERLES DE GASCOGNE

Sense of commitment

Respect for the Earth, humanity, and the ever-changing environment has always been at the heart of our work. These values permeate our everyday actions.

Our ENVIRONMENTAL

commitments

Perles de Gascogne is committed to sustainable development. We prioritize local sourcing of our raw materials and give preference to those that are certified organic.

Our company, whose flagship product (virgin plum oil) is itself the result of upcycling, implements the recovery of waste from the production plant.

The other products in our range are made from raw materials adapted to our climate, contributing to the diversification of local crops (allowing for the sustainability of agricultural production systems and increasing biodiversity).

We are actively working to reduce the environmental impacts of our activities. We measure this work through our ongoing Carbon Footprint and our company’s Ecovadis score (bronze medal).
