These days, we have all begin to think about the people behind our favourite brands and what they stand for. The ethos of a brand is as important as the products themselves which is why we tend to dig around to make sure the things we love are made with love.

We've always been fans, but recently Clarins have impressed us further when we came across their newly published Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, which outlines all of the commendable practices they undertake to make the world a better place

Employees of Clarins come first when it comes to wellbeing. Their latest internal employee satisfaction survey showed that 96% of Clarin's employees support the company’s values. Those who choose to work for this renowned brand are consider the no.1 asset of the Clarins model.

They have also made a number of pledges to ensure that they continue this way such as promising that 100% of their employees will undergo diversity, equity and inclusion training by 2022. This is wonderful news for those of us who already use Clarins products daily as we can rest assured that the people involved are respected and valued.
