SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IS A STRATEGIC AND FAMILY VALUE OF THE
GROUP
This value is extremely important at the highest level of Management. The Strategic Committee,
therefore, as early as 2008, established the Group's Sustainable Development Policy known as
Planet Respect.

The aim of this voluntary commitment is to place the brand as a major player in the cosmetics industry in favour of
biodiversity.
Over 69 hectares welcoming both mankind and nature. Following a site assessment (listing of all fauna
and flora and ecological components), an ecological management plan is drawn up for a 5 year period in
order to create and maintain living environments which are conducive to biodiversity.
In Ploërmel, after 5 years of management favouring biodiversity, the site assessment allowed 8 new bird
species to be identified on site for a total of 50 species, including 33 breeding species.

Yves Rocher welcomed over 2 600 participants to its awareness-raising events at the Botanical Gardens
and the Éco-Hôtel Spa Yves Rocher in La Gacilly in 2014 (over 90 events).
In December 2011, Yves Rocher was awarded "best site management" in the Biodiversity & Enterprise
category (Enterprise & Environment Prize) from the Agence de l'environnement et de la maîtrise de
l'énergie (French environmental and energy agency).
Since 2008, Yves Rocher has actively participated in the Natural Resources Stewardship Circle (NRSC), an
organisation made up of manufacturers from the cosmetics and perfume industry working together for a
sustainable management of biodiversity. The NRSC works on improving the economic and social
conditions of local producers and on preserving natural resources in order to promote better sustainable
procurement practices in the cosmetics and perfume industry.
Yves Rocher was invited in September 2014 by Mr. Ban Ki-Moon , Executive Secretary of the UN climate
summit at UN headquarters. During the meeting, Yves Rocher signed the New York Declaration on
Forests.
In October 2014, Yves Rocher was invited to testify to the Conference of Parties of the United Nations
(COP12) for Biological Diversity in Pyeongchang , Korea.
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE PROCUREMENT OF
All Yves Rocher products are made using botanical ingredients:
• All products contain plants which have been analysed and selected for their cosmetic properties;
• many active plant substances contained in Yves Rocher products are exclusive patented creations
based on research;
Yves Rocher uses approximately 250 botanical ingredients, each one linked to a supply chain. Yves
Rocher analyses all its botanical raw materials and manages each one accordingly.

LA GACILLY, EMBLEMATIC SUPLY CHAIN
55 ha are cultivated in La Gacilly certified organic since
1997, allowing more than 12 tonnes of cosmetic plants to
be produced for the brand's needs, but also contributes to
agronomic and cosmetic research. 9 extracts are produced
based on 7 emblematic plants cultivated in La Gacilly.
WOMEN GROUPS PRODUCING ORGANIC AND FAIR
TRADE CERTIFIED ARGAN OIL
Yves Rocher buys Argan oil in Morocco and has chosen to
turn to groups of women producing organic and fair trade
certified oil. By this choice and with the support of its
partners, the brand seeks to promote and perpetuate
traditional and local women’s skills and promote local socioeconomic balances. The organic fair trade certification and
the organisation in cooperatives or associations both provide
a fair return for women, fair redistribution of profits, training
support and funding for a development fund to support
these women groups in their projects.
EMBLEM OF OUR COMMITMENT TO TRACEABILITY AND
SUSTAINABILITY
For its Andiroba oil, which is a Beautifying Dry Oil, Yves
Rocher has used a Brazilian supplier that has strong values
and shares the Brand’s approach.
The harvest of the Andiroba seeds is performed by men and
women from northeastern Brazil, who are organized in
cooperatives and voluntary groups.
It is performed very early in the morning on the banks of
the Amazon, after the river has deposited the seeds.
Importance is given to the sustainability of the sector, the
involvement of the communities and the transfer of
expertise and added value to them.
OUR PRODUCTS
FORMULATION – THE QUINTESSENCE OF BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS FOR EVEN
MORE EFFICIENCY
New exclusive active principles are created and developed every year by the Yves Rocher research
team. Plant ingredients are from sustainable resources, based on our plant supply chains, guaranteeing
the quality, traceability, and protection of local populations.
This is always done using the most environmentally-friendly extraction technology.
Christophe Brachet©
Each ingredient of the formula has a role and a benefit to the skin. It is introduced to its right
concentration for optimal effectiveness and guaranteed safety. Artificial useless or discredited ingredients
are discarded beyond regulation.
We achieve the following thanks to the implementation of formulation guidelines:
• All rinse-off products have a formula which is easily biodegradable, for improved protection of aquatic
ecosystems.
• 73% of our raw materials come from a natural source.
• Since 1989 and as a forerunner in the cosmetics industry, Yves Rocher decided to stop all animal testing
for its products and ingredients.
• Preference is given to certified organic botanical ingredients from the agricultural center of La Gacilly
in France.
• We refuse more than 1600 ingredients for our formulas.

FACTORIES CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
The 4 production sites in Brittany and Ireland are considered management models and have received the
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.
The industrial sites place a lot of importance on the fight against global warming by reducing their fossil
energy consumption. Yves Rocher therefore seeks to promote renewable energies, by providing wood
heating for 950 employees (saving nearly 1 600 t of CO2 per year).
In addition, industrial sites have reduced CO2 emissions per product by 25% since 2010 (gCO2/product).
Water is a valuable resource for Yves Rocher. Sites work and invest in order to respect and protect this
precious resource. Sites have thus improved their water efficiency (quantity of water consumed per
tonne of bulk produced) by 21% since 2010.
OUR PRODUCTS
AN ECO-DESIGN PROCESS FOR ALL PACKAGING
For Yves Rocher, eco-designing packaging is an alternative way to design, using the following tools:
Innovation, Creativity and Desirability. Packaging eco-design prioritises use and pleasure values.
The two main objectives of this procedure are: to REDUCE non renewable resource consumption and
to RECYCLE by designing packaging that can be recycled at existing facilities and encouraging our
customers to sort their packaging waste.

In order to accompany teams engaged in product development, Yves Rocher has, over the last 4 years,
developed "packaging eco-design guidelines". This tool, which is updated annually, is shared by
marketing, purchase, development and R&D teams. It provides the regulations and instructions to follow
in terms of eco-design for all the Green Book products.
KEY FIGURES IN 2014
: In 2014, the new
Ecotube was launched within the
Expert Repair range for a
certified organic fair trade Shea
butter this tube uses 25% less
plastic. This saving was made
through the use of an innovative
service capsule. Extending the
Ecotube to other products will
lead to saving 10 tonnes of plastic
in 2015.
: 51 Yves Rocher
products already contain plastic
from recycled bottles (PET), i.e. a
target of 97 tonnes of virgin
plastic to be saved in 2015.
The Yves Rocher brand has set
itself a target of including recycled
PET in 50% of its PET packaging
by 2015.
: 160 staff members
were educated about eco-design
between 2012 and 2014.
Training of all new product
development team employees.
SUPPLIER ECOSYSTEM
The Yves Rocher Purchasing and Quality management team works in collaboration with its
partners to develop and spread those values associated with the respect of nature and mankind
backed by the Group, ie. :
• Environment and biodiversity conservation;
• Innovation and audacity as drivers of differentiation and competitivity;
• The refusal to engage in any form of concealment or deception.
At the heart of their concerns and with the view to attaining excellence for products and services
for the purpose of continued improvement and competitivity, the Group develops balanced
relations for the future, established presently with suppliers.
Signing of the « Charte Relations Fournisseurs
Responsables »
The Director of Operations of the Yves Rocher Group

"the 10 engagement Charter for responsible purchasing".
Supplier Portal
At the end of 2013, the Yves Rocher Group launched its
Supplier Portal www.group-rocher-suppliers.com
an
internet site for all the Group's suppliers.
The supplier portal has a double objective: attract current
and future suppliers of the Yves Rocher Group & drive
innovation, by acknowledging suppliers as a source of
proposals.
The 4th edition of the Supplier Trophies of the Yves
Rocher Group took place on the 9th January 2014.
11 suppliers, from all categories, were awarded for
their efforts based on the themes of Competitivity,
Innovation, Sustainable Development and Quality.
A LOCALLY IMPLANTED
Yves Rocher has for long been greatly concerned about
disability issues. Thus, since 1994, a sheltered
workshop, « les Primevères » located in La Gacilly
employs more than 25 disabled employees. The
company is a subsidiary and is part of Group Rocher.

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
Some 200 hives are installed on our 55 acres of flowers
in organic farming. Besides producing a delicious honey,
bees, as sentinels, are excellent indicators of biodiversity.
Via its facilities in favor of pollinators, Yves Rocher wants
to develop an exemplary model in agro- ecology.
