NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Sol de Janeiro, a global beauty company known for its Brazilian-inspired body care and transportive fragrance, has achieved B Corp™ Certification, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to responsible growth and continuous improvement in social and environmental performance. The certification, which comes during Climate Week NYC, underscores Sol de Janeiro's ongoing dedication to building a responsible business as it continues its global expansion under the L'OCCITANE Group, which recently achieved B Corp™ recertification under B Lab™'s new Standards.
The certification under Version 1.6 of the B Impact Assessment, which evaluates a company's impact across areas such as workers, community, environment, customers, and governance, highlights Sol de Janeiro's strength in people-focused practices, including employee engagement and diversity and inclusion, which have long been central to the company's culture and approach to business. This certification provides a framework for the company to continue measuring and improving its impact, ensuring that as it grows, so does its positive impact.
The milestone comes during Climate Week NYC, where Sol de Janeiro leadership is participating in global conversations around responsible business and sustainable growth. Earlier this week, Saxemard represented L'OCCITANE Group at the UN Private Sector Forum's CEO Lunch at United Nations Headquarters, alongside UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Sanda Ojiambo, CEO of the United Nations Global Compact, and global business leaders. Chopin Rabin, the company's Senior Vice President of Global Communications & Consumer Engagement, will also participate in a FrenchFounders fireside conversation focused on balancing business growth with a continued commitment to sustainability and positive impact.
Beyond its operations, Sol de Janeiro is putting these values into action through the Sol de Janeiro Foundation, which supports communities and ecosystems at the heart of its mission. Established in 2024, the Foundation is centered on two core pillars: the regeneration and conservation of biodiversity and the empowerment of young women worldwide. With several millions already committed since its founding, it supports 13 partner organizations working on community-rooted, long-term initiatives, including protecting and restoring Brazil's Atlantic and Amazon Rainforests, and expanding access to clean water, education, and opportunity for young women around the world.
Sol de Janeiro's achievement of B Corp Certification is not an endpoint but the beginning of an ongoing journey of continuous improvement, ensuring that as the company grows, its positive impact grows alongside it. The company's commitment to responsible growth and continuous improvement in social and environmental performance is expected to further strengthen its position as a leader in the beauty industry.
