Greetings 2020
This year we have decided to give a step ahead in ecological transition showing our commitment announcing for 2020 the plantation of 20 000 trees.
Replacing plastic stick and packaging by paper/carton solution, it seemed obvious for us to act in a different way with this sustainable action.
All Groupe Lemoine teams wish you all the best for an eco-friendly year.
