When René Lacoste adopted the crocodile emblem, he had no idea that 80 years later this logo would be worn by millions of people. Equally, he never imagined that the crocodile could one day disappear. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate, Lacoste contributes to the protection of biodiversity worldwide through its involvement in the preservation of crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials, as well as the protection and restoration of the ecosystems in which these animals live.
The LACOSTE CSR policy aims first at protecting the collaborators, the working tool and the brand: the Partners & Suppliers Charter LACOSTE clarifies our rules of the game and makes sensitive the collaborators in the CSR stakes.
RAW MATERIALS: A SELECTION IN LINE WITH THE CSR COMMITMENTS
Fibers, including cotton used in LACOSTE polos, must adhere to high standards of quality and must also register in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. LACOSTE ensures used cotton did not come from sources at risk in terms of respect for human rights. In this way, LACOSTE supports RESPONSIBLE SOURCING NETWORK and the COTTON PLEDGE CAMPAIGN fighting against forced labor and child labor in cotton fields.

Attention to the energy consumption of the shops
With more than 1,200 points of sale around the world, LACOSTE pays special attention to the energy consumption of its stores. On this ground, the brand has opted to work on the integration of environmental criteria in its store concept. These studies relied particularly on the implementation of the LCA (life-cycle assessment), focusing primarily on lights and air conditioning.
