In 2012, in the village of Li Guang (Liming, Yunnan) in China, Clarins set up a planting and training programme for the local community in partnership with the Pur Project. In the first year, 5,000 traditional medicinal plants were planted and village volunteers were trained in agricultural techniques. In 2008 in Vin Kim, Vietnam, Clarins financed the building of a school for the local community.
