Consumers like Patrick and Céline are what have made BIC an iconic global brand. This father and daughter are such fans of the BIC 4-Color pen that together they have almost 400, from garden variety to special editions (the search continues for some of the rarest, like the version with four of the same color). The pair also have a dream - to visit the Montévrain factory where the 4-Color is made - and Friday, we're making their dream a reality. Read more about Patrick and Céline (en français!), and join us in welcoming them to where the magic happens in Montévrain.
When consumers told us they wanted high-quality, high-performing personal care and beauty products, we created BIC Made For YOU, the razor for everybody and every body. Today the Made For YOU brand grows to include face lotion, body lotion and shave cream, giving shoppers more great options to help them achieve their personal best: https://bit.ly/3b7hhkH #BIC #BICMadeForYOU
BIC has received an A- “Leadership” ranking from CDP for our climate change efforts in 2019. While this is great news, there's still so much we can do. Our teams continue working toward our 2025 “Writing the Future, Together” goals, including fostering sustainable product innovations and acting against climate change – all of which will contribute to a more sustainable future.
In January, BIC Melbourne team members came together to help communities impacted by the bushfires devastating Australia. In partnership with Good360, they packed 3,000 BIC Back to School packs and 100 School Administration kits and delivered them to schools affected by the fires. The 70 schools receiving BIC supplies have been hard hit in this ongoing crisis. In some cases, the schools themselves have sustained damage and are forced to set up temporary operations in local halls and community centers and many students have lost their homes. Thank you to our team members in Melbourne for lending a hand. We value your action and send our thoughts to everyone continuing to assist aid efforts in the country.

The NGO Jood recently hit the road in a truck that gives Morocco's homeless men space to shower, brush their teeth, receive clothing donations and get a fresh shave and haircut sponsored by BIC. They'll drive throughout Morocco over the course of an entire year, and when they're done they'll have helped more than 8,000 people. We wish them all the best, and we're so proud BIC Morocco has partnered with Jood to support their journey.
The BIC Corporate Foundation recently attended the launch of the nonprofit Article 1's Job Ready program, which will help underserved youth in France identify and showcase soft skills. The Foundation supports programs like JobReady because BIC recognizes that soft skills have enormous value in every facet of professional life. BIC and our Corporate Foundation do more than recognize that value - we promise to advance it. Alison James, BIC's Chief Human Resources Officer, signed JobReady's Soft Skills Pledge on our behalf, committing to consider soft skills when hiring talent, and using them to promote Diversity and Inclusion within the company. Congratulations to Article 1 on beginning its important work, and thank you for helping new careers thrive!
