Terre d’Oc, a mission-driven company, committed by nature.

 

Né du talent des femmes

Since 1995, from Haute-Provence to the rest of the world, we have been a collective of women, along with a few men, passionate and committed to creating

Whether it is a tea, a candle, a scented water, or a blend of essential oils, we craft our products by hand through our exchanges and encounters, creating products that make people feel good. In 2021, our founder, Valérie Roubaud, handed over the reins of the company to us, and we are proud to continue her CSR commitment and go even further by becoming a mission-driven company, a new foundation for everything we undertake.

We have therefore enshrined our purpose and five major commitments in the corporate bylaws of terre d’Oc.

What is a mission-driven company?

This is a new French legal status introduced under the 2019 PACTE Law. It applies to companies whose objectives go beyond the pursuit of profit alone. As such, a mission-driven company publicly embeds its purpose through several social and environmental objectives in its articles of association filed with the Commercial Court Registry.

A mission-driven company is supported by a Mission Committee, whose role is to monitor the achievement of its social, societal, and environmental objectives. Performance, resource, and monitoring indicators are defined, an annual report is issued, and the commitments and results are audited by an independent third-party organization. This corporate status therefore requires a strong level of commitment from company leaders, who must work closely with their teams to steer the business in accordance with its defined mission.

By changing a little bit of everything, we can change everything.

We believe that everyone can have a positive impact on society. It starts with the choices we make as consumers. Every day at Terre d’Oc, we are committed to creating and crafting beautiful, beneficial, and healthy wellness products that uphold the highest standards of quality and ethics, while caring for the planet and all who inhabit it.

As creators and makers, we add an extra challenge to our commitment: to nurture and shine a light on women’s talents around the world, because we believe that sustainability cannot exist without equal opportunities. In this way, we enable our customers to contribute, in their own way, to a more sustainable and supportive world. Because our products invite everyone to take a moment for themselves, first and foremost. And because they are made with 100% organic or natural ingredients and produced through an ethical approach, always. We believe in the symmetry of care.

Buying a Terre d’Oc product means contributing to a broader commitment to sharing wealth and promoting women’s talents around the world.
