Business Trophy 2022

Last night, we experienced an exceptional evening.

The Club des Entreprises Légendes Iroise Aber CÉLIA organized its 13th Business Trophy. At the end of December, we submitted our application to participate in this trophy, which highlights entrepreneurs from these 3 communities of communes. We were very moved to learn that we had been selected in two categories: innovative or developing company, and corporate social responsibility. It was in this second category that we received the 2022 award.

Route Mandarine has always carefully selected its certified organic ingredients to encourage environmentally friendly agriculture and produce healthy cosmetics. For many years, we have been working with the ESATEO workshops for disabled workers in Brest for the packaging and labeling of our products. They are an indispensable link in the development of our company; without their efficiency and professionalism, we would never have been able to increase our production as we have. This collaboration with ESATEO is so important to us that we chose to use their carpentry workshop for the fitting out of our shop in the port of Lanildut. We also strive to work as much as possible with other entrepreneurs in the region; for example, we have our labels printed in Brittany and have chosen, for our next range of care products, to promote Breton productions by using hemp oil, rapeseed oil or even algae active ingredients exclusively produced in Brittany.

We are very happy that these initiatives caught the jury's attention. This award encourages us to continue our efforts in this direction and makes us want to go even further!

But what pleased us most during this evening was discovering and meeting other entrepreneurs who, like us, every day, work to build their business in this territory that is dear to us. We discovered passionate and fascinating entrepreneurs, inspiring in creativity and enthusiasm, and this gave us a huge boost of energy for the future.

We sincerely thank CÉLIA for this superb evening and the trust they showed us with this award, for the kindness and encouragement of the elected officials from the 3 communities of communes present yesterday, and congratulate all the entrepreneurs for the dynamism and inspiration they conveyed to us.
