To further its actions in favor of nature, Clarins has signed an official contract with the CEN Asters.
New obligations, defined with the CEN Asters, will therefore fall to the group on the 10 hectares of the estate, such as:
• a global research partnership with the universities of Savoie and Grenoble-Alpes
• work with the National Alpine Botanical Conservatory on erosion phenomena
• research on agroecology techniques in the mountains
• a project for the characterization and preservation of the Venus hoof (a plant included on the list of threatened species of the CITES Convention)
