"We and the GoodPlanet Foundation share the same desire to materialise our strong commitments to the planet for future generations. Nature is at the heart of both of our stories and we have a common mission to make these commitments a reality that is accessible to everyone," explains Elodie Bernadi, Brand Director Garnier France. "We also want to establish the launch of Garnier Bio within a "giving back to nature" initiative, with concrete and local actions to support farmers in their transition to ecological practices."
This support takes the form of a joint and lasting partnership between the Garnier brand and the GoodPlanet Foundation that will last 3 years, to raise the awareness of and assist farmers in the Seine-Normandy region with their farming and forestry projects.

A farming-forestry monitoring committee will also be set up as an online platform for visualising linear and surface changes due to the planted trees.
"We are delighted to have the support of a partner like Garnier, a company aware of its responsibilities to the environment in terms of sustainable retail," says Matthieu Jousset, Manager of the Community Carbon Action programme for the GoodPlanet Foundation.
