These pillars are not abstract commitments, they
take shape on the ground, in territories where
LEMO has forged long-standing partnerships with
communities and ecosystems.

Built on decades of close collaboration with the
communities and ecosystems on which we rely,
LEMO embraced sustainability through practical,
community-based action. This commitment
is reflected in our support for local green
employment, in empowering youth and women
with skills in sustainable trades via focused
capacity-building programs, in assisting small
businesses in adopting climate-smart practices,
and in fostering of locally driven innovation to
develop tailored solutions for climate challenges.

Scaling resilience from the ground up
At LEMO, sustainability has grown from the ground
up, deeply rooted in its long-standing ties to the
Oulmès region where its journey began. This local
anchoring has shaped the company’s evolution
— not only as a producer of natural mineral water,
but as a catalyst for shared value creation.

Over the years, LEMO has built strong, lasting
relationships with communities, local authorities
and partners, enabling the co-creation of solutions
that are both impactful and inclusive. This deep
local embeddedness is not symbolic, it represents
a strategic pillar of its resilience model, influencing
how initiatives are designed, scaled, and measured.

Embedding inclusion at the core
Les Eaux Minérales d’Oulmès considers social
inclusion to be a cornerstone of climate resilience.
It is not only about widening access, but also about
rethinking how value is created and shared.

Programs are designed with and for women, youth,
and rural communities, recognizing these groups
not as passive beneficiaries, but as active co-
drivers of transformation.

By embedding inclusion into the design and
governance of its actions, LEMO strengthens the
relevance, effectiveness and long-term impact
of its sustainability commitments. »
