In 1924, Alfred Chauvin, a visionary pharmacist, founded Laboratoire Chauvin in Aubenas, marking the beginning of an industrial adventure dedicated to visual health. Today, this historic site remains a pillar of production for Bausch+Lomb, combining tradition with modern technology.
In the 1970s, the laboratory's head office was transferred to Montpellier, a strategic university and scientific city. In 2000, Bausch+Lomb' s acquisition of the Chauvin Group enabled the brand to extend its international reach while strengthening its R&D capabilities.
Driven by values of passion, integrity and excellence, the brand has maintained its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. Witness its advances in lens materials, preservative-free treatments and societal initiatives.
Since 2021, Bausch+Lomb France has been actively structuring its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. Commitments include reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, transitioning to sustainable packaging and supporting local and international health initiatives. In 2022, the brand published its first GHG report, a key step towards a more environmentally-friendly future.
Bausch+Lomb integrates sustainable practices into its industrial processes. The Aubenas production site is equipped with solar panels, covering 10% of its electrical needs. Initiatives such as heat recovery, the reduction of water consumption (-6% by 2022) and the use of cardboard containing 70% recycled materials illustrate this commitment.
In partnership with local schools and institutions, the brand invests in the training of future healthcare professionals. Initiatives such as the soft mobility plan in Montpellier and corporate philanthropy actions help to reinforce its social impact.
