Our ambition is to make Les 2 Marmottes an ever more responsible company, respectful of its environment and the women and men who work there. We believe that sustainable and ethical growth is not only possible, but essential to ensuring the future of our company and our planet.
The 2 Marmots: Committed from the plot to the bag!
Our first commitment
Commit to environmental protection
From field to cup, every action counts. Our responsibility is played out at every stage of the chain, with a simple idea: reduce our footprint, preserve life... without losing an ounce of taste.
What roadmap for your CSR strategy?
“Like many companies, our priority objective is to reduce our environmental impact. We will therefore seek to measure and reduce our carbon impact throughout the value chain, to limit the quantity of waste produced while promoting the recycling and recovery of our co-products, to save our energy and of course to eco-design our packaging. Among our 62 open projects, achieving zero petroleum-based plastic in our bags while preserving the quality of our plants is the one that is most important to us. The good news is that after 40 years of improvement and 2 years of in-depth investigation, we are on the verge of finding the solution!”
A good infusion is first and foremost a good plant
• Our plants are handpicked. We choose them from committed producers and we favor sustainable and local sources.
• Lighter transport, smaller footprint! We reduce the carbon footprint linked to transport by limiting unnecessary journeys and optimizing our shipments.
• Fields that simply respect nature. With our partners, we encourage agricultural practices that preserve soil, water and biodiversity.
• Control of production from field to cup to limit intermediaries
Limit waste to limit our impact
• Lighter packaging: elimination of over-packaging, wires, staples and choice of recyclable materials.
• Controlled waste: reduction of waste and increased sorting/recycling on site.
• Preserved water: monitoring, rational management and prevention of pollution.
• Equipment on the line: preventive maintenance to avoid leaks, emissions and waste.
Less energy, less footprint
• Controlled manufacturing, optimized energy: We manage each step internally — cutting, debacterization, mixing, packaging — to reduce our energy needs.
• Our factory consumes less thanks to continuous actions to reduce our consumption (fine adjustments, improvement of equipment, good daily practices).
• Measured carbon footprint: We gradually offset what remains incompressible.
Protecting living things for the good of our plants
• Nature at the heart of our choices: We integrate biodiversity into our purchases, our processes and our CSR policy.
• Environmentally friendly crops: With our partners, we support agricultural practices that preserve soil, water and local flora/fauna.
• Our mobilization on the ground: We raise awareness among our teams and act with our local partners to sustainably protect ecosystems.
Our second commitment
Taking care of our employees
At Les 2 Marmottes, our performance begins with those who bring the brand to life. Every day, we improve working conditions for the well-being of all: respect, listening, learning, safety... And above all, a smile!
At Les 2 Marmottes, everyone finds their way!
• Healthy and respectful environment: We ensure pleasant working conditions, listening to everyone, so that everyone quickly finds their place in the burrow (monthly breakfast, 1 day of teleworking per week, etc.)
• Learn and grow internally through regular training, career paths and on-the-job support.
• Diversity and equal opportunities: At every stage — recruitment, training, development — we defend fairness and equal opportunities: every child has a chance, ideas don't have a typical profile!
When the groundhogs are well, everything is well!
• Safety first: We adapt our organization, our equipment and work on the ergonomics of the workstations to work in good conditions and above all calmly.
• Daily learning: Awareness raising and regular training help to anchor good safety reflexes in each team.
• Prevention against discrimination, or incivility: we cultivate respect on a daily basis... like marmots.

Never any flavoring, just the real taste of nature!
• We can never say it enough: At Les 2 Marmottes, there are never any added flavors, neither “natural” nor artificial!
• Our master infusers create recipes with only plants, the best of course, but only plants!
• Our plants are rigorously selected for their exceptional quality.
• Their unique taste and their virtues are preserved thanks to our manufacturing processes which respect the plant and allow us to keep all its organoleptic qualities and its benefits.

Homemade creation: from the field to your cup!
• Key steps internalized at the burrow: Cutting, debacterization, mixing and packaging are carried out in Bons en Chablais for better control, more regularity... and it shows in the cup.
• Short chain, assured quality: We work directly with producers, which ensures precise traceability and plants that travel little: preserved freshness, intact aromas... The taste of loyalty to our farmers.
• Demanding from the source: We rigorously select our plants and, above all, we control them from the moment of supply for infusions that are faithful to the plant and safer.
