La Verrière awarded the prestigious Butterfly Mark Certification from Positive Luxury

We are delighted to announce that La Verrière, following in Chêne Bleu’s footsteps, has been awarded the prestigious Butterfly Mark Certification from Positive Luxury!

This hard-to-achieve award serves as an accreditation acknowledging the highest standards of sustainability present in all areas of a luxury business - environmental, social and innovation. La Verrière’s scorecard excelled particularly in biodiversity, DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion), and health & safety. La Verrière is a collaborative effort driven by a shared ethos of sustainable excellence - hence the estate’s motto: Non Mihi, Non Tibi, Sed Nobis (Latin for 'not mine, not yours but ours).

The Positive Luxury certification process was co-founded by Diana Verde Nieto, an Al Gore acolyte and Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum, who is an inspirational change-maker on the global Climate action stage, and Karen Hanton MBE, a Scottish Entrepreneur. The award is overseen by a team of passionate advocates for sustainability and social issues, aiming to use their platform as a means of transforming the luxury industry through helping an ever-expanding cohort of Real Changemakers to continually raise the bar of what it means to be a sustainable business.

“La Verrière is leading the way in environmental conservation through actionable change” Amy Nelson-Bennett, CEO of Positive Luxury

We’re proud to have met Positive Luxury’s exacting standards but are committed to going further. As Xavier Rolet said: “It is our duty to make sure that the Domaine is managed well, to share it and to pass it on in good health to future generations.” Developing a sustainable future requires continued innovative action and a commitment to long-term investment over short-term wins.

This ethos is at the core of everything we do at La Verrière - we’re in it for the long haul!
