The Herboretum

The Alban Muller Group has supported The Herboretum Association since 2004. The latter takes concrete action in favour of biodiversity according to a programme in 5 points:

- Preserving biodiversity, using environment-friendly cultivating methods
- Highlighting the value of biodiversity, through the presentation of a variety of gardens
- Observing biodiversity, for better comprehension of its complexity
- Taking part in the follow-up of its evolution
- Making the public aware of its vital role

This garden of preserved and shared biodiversity is located in Saint-Ay, at the heart of the Val de Loire region, south of Paris, a region declared Unesco World Heritage.

The aim of the association is to help nature bloom freely, respecting its rhythms, favouring the development of the local floral and fauna species. Since the beginning of the project, several species of butterflies and rare orchids have reappeared. A great victory for The Herboretum and living proof that nature, when protected and free, is rich, varied, surprising, and promising.

Cosmetic Valley

The Cosmetic Valley was created under the patronage of Jean-Paul Guerlain in 1994 and has been under the presidency of Alban Muller since 2005. Its mission is to develop the cosmetic and perfume industries in France to create an international network.

The association has been labelled 'competitivity cluster' by the French State, and is the world's largest centre of resources in the perfume and cosmetics industries. It brings together 400 companies in the field, and its territory covers six regions south west of Paris.
Along with the Cosmetic Valley, the Alban Muller Group takes part in collective research projects, in particular elaborating the Charter for an eco-responsible Cosmetic Valley, guaranteeing the safety and quality of its products and services, respecting man and our planet.
