On February 29, Davines hosted a regenerative floral workshop, facilitated by B-Corp eco-conscious florist Florada, with additional insights from the brand’s Italy-based chairman, Davide Bollati, who was joined by Davines’ Giulia Visalli and Vanessa Esposito. The event took place at Palm House in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens, with the fresh blooms and greenhouse aesthetic ushering in the right atmosphere immediately.
The event celebrated the brand’s recent B Corp recertification with a score of 123.5, speaking to their ethical production principles. Looking ahead to B-Corp month in March, the intimate floristry workshop showcased Davines’ values in an immersive way.
The B Corp certification is facilitated by B Lab, a US-based non-profit organisation that assesses companies on their overall impact on the environment, the community, their employees and customers. Businesses require a score of 80 points or above in a detailed survey across their social and environmental performance in the five areas of governance, workers, environment, community, and customers. The assessment also ensures the company is modifying its articles of incorporation and other legal governing documents to ensure that its board of directors balances its interests and objectives.
The brand presented this environmental significance by transforming Palm House into the Davines Farmer’s Market, mirroring the charm of Davines Village in Parma, Italy. The festivities included an Italian-style grazing table by Stories to Gather for guests to enjoy during the workshop.
Guests took home baskets of fresh produce, alongside select Davines products including the exclusive new refill packs, available from June, which was added to the package. The take-home gift also included creative potted herbs in recycled Davines conditioner pots and each guest’s self-assembled bouquet of sustainably grown florals.
