Commitment as

an Art de Vivre

Our vision of responsible sourcing is based on local, sustainable, and ethical partnerships, with an emphasis on European partnerships to limit our carbon footprint.
Women and men whose shared values and passion engage us in a long-term relationship. Among them, three emblematic collaborations carry our commitments.

Because we share the love of Swiss nature and the desire to reveal all its richness to as many people as possible, we have been collaborating since 2025 – the year celebrating Valmont's 40th anniversary – with the Flore-Alpe Botanical Garden. Located in Champex-Lac, in the heart of the Valais region, the Flore-Alpe Botanical Garden preserves more than 4,000 plant species, half of them being native to the Swiss Alps. This high-altitude garden, dedicated to conservation and exhibition of the key phyto-alpine plants found in Valmont’s skincare creations – sea buckthorn, echinacea, and rosa moschata.

This space, open to all, offers a didactic trail punctuated by informative panels on the selected plants, inviting visitors to a bucolic discovery of the ties between nature and skincare. The Valmont plants sublimated in this exceptional conservatory are grown in the Valais, on production sites at various altitudes, allowing optimum exploitation of the diversity of Swiss soils, while preserving local know-how.

Our historic collaboration with Stéphanie Vuadens, Geneva-based beekeeper and founder of the Fondation Arche des Abeilles, is above all a story of connection and shared values. Her contagious passion for bees and her unwavering commitment to their preservation naturally echoed our vision of responsible and authentic sourcing. We sponsor hives in Switzerland under l'Elixir des Glaciers by Valmont brand, one of whose treasures, honey, is used in our Essence of Bees range.

Under Stéphanie’s expert guidance, this collaboration is built on bee-friendly beekeeping practices that honor the natural rhythms of the hive. Her philosophy focuses on minimizing human intervention to preserve the hive’s innate intelligence. Every apiary is carefully chosen in protected environments, ensuring both exceptional hive-derived ingredients and the well-being of the colonies. This approach also extends to actively supporting local beekeepers, fostering a community dedicated to the long-term preservation of beekeeping heritage.

In France, near Bordeaux, our partnership with Ferme de Neuvic guarantees an ethical supply of sturgeon DNA, a key ingredient in our Essence of Gold Sturgeon collection. Certified B-Corp since 2023, this farm upholds the strictest standards in responsible aquaculture.

Led by Laurent Deverlanges, a dedicated team works every day to cultivate excellence in aquaculture, placing respect for life at the heart of their priorities. Their approach embodies this vision through meticulously managed water resources, the result of years of expertise and innovation. The well-being of sturgeons is a constant focus, with farming conditions that respect their natural rhythms. This passion for excellence is reflected in the rigorous quality control at every stage, ensuring the highest standard of DNA extracts used in our skincare products.

Because eco-design is self-evident for us, we have structured our approach around three fundamental principles, significantly reducing our environmental impact while preserving the unique prestige experience that defines our brand.

Our 100% recyclable glass bottles allow a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions. The mono-material design of our plastic components ensures their total recyclability, while our FSC-certified cardboard packaging guarantees responsible and sustainable forest management.

In 2024, we reduced our paper consumption by 25%, eliminated plastic spatulas – thus avoiding
700 kg of polystyrene waste per year – and redesigned the dimensions of our packaging. A global approach that demonstrates our willingness to question and constantly improve our practices.

In our La Maison Valmont boutiques, our refill stations exclusively dedicated to Storie Veneziane perfumes pave the way for a new way of consuming luxury. Our cases are also designed for a second life, transforming in turn into true works of art, decorative objects, and refined jewelry boxes, thus combining sustainability and creativity.

Our Résidences Valmont, much more than havens of peace, are for us the opportunity to actively engage in environmental protection initiatives and the development of sustainable projects. Each develops initiatives that are designed to resonate with their setting:

The island of Hydra is the theater of our ambitious underwater cleaning program, conducted in collaboration with local divers and associations. An initiative that raises awareness about marine pollution and aims to preserve Mediterranean ecosystems, complemented by a strict zero-plastic policy in our Villa Valentine Résidence.

In Verbier, our partnership with First Track Lab, specialist in eco-designed skis, is part of a pioneering approach to innovation and respect for natural resources, rethinking the environmental impact of sports equipment.

In Venice, we actively contribute to the In Venetia Hortus Redemptoris project, dedicated to restoring the Giardini del Redentore, a 16th-century historic garden adjacent to the majestic Redentore church on the island of Giudecca. In this natural setting, we have, for example, installed hives to support biodiversity and pollination of this iconic place.

At Palazzo Bonvicini, headquarters of Fondation Valmont, our initiatives have already helped avoid the use of 17.5 kg of plastic in one year, thanks to the elimination of plastic bottles.
