Our latest gift set supports local efforts to preserve and protect Sicily’s natural landscape
Born of rolling hills, lush vineyards, and pure mountain springs, our philosophy is deeply rooted in the abundance of Sicilian nature. From antioxidant-packed white wine from Di Giovanna’s vineyard to the hydrating pistachio oil sourced just 20 minutes away from our organic farm at Verdura, we owe many of the ingredients in our sustainable skincare range, to this unique landscape. So, partnering with the Sicily Environment Fund (SEF) in effort to protect Sicily’s biodiversity has always felt like a natural fit.
Celebrated as the jewel of the Mediterranean and the most extended region in Italy, Sicily encompasses everything from active volcanoes and marine wildlife to varied habitats. Yet, the island faces many threats with the pressures of climate change. That’s why we’re delighted to be supporting the Sicily Environment Fund in support of marine and terrestrial conservation, sustainable food systems and ecological transition.
Earlier this year, we marked Earth Day in partnership with the Sicily Environment Fund, and have since embarked on a new collaboration through our Regenerating Night Routine Kit. For every kit sold, £2 helps to protect, preserve, and restore the island’s rich biodiversity.
In Harmony with Nature, Committed to Sustainability
In 2022, we achieved B Corp status at Irene Forte Skincare, a true milestone for us - particularly with the importance that we place on creating our efficacious products responsibly, through ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship and fair labor practices. Irene Forte Skincare earned an outstanding overall score of 98.1, which is significantly above the median completion score of 50.9 and the pass threshold of 80. We have also earned the Butterfly Trust mark by Positive Luxury, been verified by the Carbon Footprint Standard Accreditation, and all of our products are 100% vegan and cruelty free.
From glass refillable jars and repurposed ingredients like our Upcycled Olive Seed Oil and Upcycled Raspberry Extract, to our decision to not incorporate harmful ingredients like mineral oil and plastic microbeads, we make every effort to create effective yet thoughtful skincare.
So in a variety of ways, the Sicily Environment Fund’s work in the science and sustainability sphere mirrors our own, with a mission to protect and enhance the region’s delicate ecosystems.
The team work in collaboration with local Sicilian communities to:
-
Leverage local projects and aid grassroots organizations
-
Craft long-term initiatives that preserve the island’s history and future
-
Promote sustainable practices through local education
-
Drive regional collaboration and collective learning
