PETIT BATEAU IS PART OF THE ROCHER GROUP, WHICH WAS THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL COMPANY TO BECOME A MISSION-DRIVEN BUSINESS, WHICH WAS THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL COMPANY TO BECOME A MISSION-DRIVEN BUSINESS WHOSE CORE VALUE IS TO GET ITS "COMMUNITIES BACK IN TOUCH WITH NATURE".
This mission involves various commitments and actions, such as creating a Nature Academy to train all Group staff in sustainable development issues, and launching the Reconnect to Nature barometer.
Citizens from 19 countries have been asked about their connection to nature, with the results showing that a good link contributes to well-being. One of the barometer's aims is to encourage businesses, political decision-makers, NGOs and citizens to work to promote connections with nature.
PETIT BATEAU IS FULLY ON BOARD WITH THIS AND IS FOCUSING ON THIS WITH CHILDREN ESPECIALLY.
THROUGH NATURE, CHILDREN DEVELOP THEIR CREATIVITY,
their self-confidence and their desire to protect the planet. Given our name, you won't be surprised to learn that we're particularly keen to help them discover the delights and importance of water: a key natural resource and life source.
TARGETING THINGS AT THE SOURCE AND RAISING CHILDREN'S AWARENESS OF WATER-RELATED ISSUES
As a textile manufacturer, we're well aware of the industry's impact on aquatic habitats and the need to manage water reserves. And we're working hard on this.
Water is a source of life and joy, and essential for oxygen production on Earth. We want to teach children more about it. We're currently creating a fun educational programme to help them begin the adventure. But shhh! We'll tell you more soon...
FUN ECO TUTORIALS
With Petit Bateau's eco tutorials, children can have fun recycling as, for example, they learn to make a vase from a bag, or a kitchen garden from a gift box.
