RESPONSIBILITY | Café du Cycliste gains B Corp™ certification We’re thrilled to announce that our efforts in sustainability have been recognised by B Lab and we are now a Certified B Corporation™. As a company built on a love of the outdoors, we’ve always striven to be environmentally responsible and to improve our sustainability – the effects of climate change on the home landscapes we love, the Alps and the Côte d’Azur, are too severe not to act. But we’re also very pleased to be recognised for our culture, our sourcing and supply chains, and our focus on the so-called ‘triple bottom line’ of people, planet and profit. We believe in B Lab’s vision to transform the global economy to benefit all people. We know that our actions as individuals and as a company must positively impact the workers, customers and communities we touch, as well as the environment. ‘From a young age, the more time I started to spend outdoors, the more I looked to protect it. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of  a company where everybody shares that perspective.’  Rémi Clermont (co-founder). As a brand, we’ve always been about the journey, not the destination. Becoming a Certified B Corporation™ is not a goal in itself, only a milestone showing our progress towards becoming a more sustainable organisation, and we’re committed to keep improving on all fronts. Onwards!

To care for and protect our planet and our people, we first need to understand our ecosystems and our impacts on them. To understand these concepts requires higher education.
