- GUERLAIN
No bees no life. Did you know this? Einstein said that without bees we would have just four year to live. And currently, with these important pollinators being under a danger of extinction his words may just be more relevant than ever.
In October this year I had a pleasure of attending Guerlain x UNESCO conference in Paris to witness their promise to train new beekeepers, create beekeeping affiliates across the world and measure the benefits of the pollination in the biosphere reserves. It’s an important step to add to Guerlain’s already extensive work towards protecting bees as well as their approach to sustainable development of the brand.
