Every two years the French Society awards a prize for services to the field of cosmetology. On 26 November 2014, Jean-Yves Berthon, president of the Greentech Group, was awarded the most prestigious award of the French Society of Cosmetology (SFC – Société Française de Cosmétologie).
Jean-Yves Berthon was a 32-year-old doctor of biology when he founded Greentech in 1992. A few decades later, he presides over a group consisting of three companies, dedicated to the fields of vegetables, marine life and microorganisms: GREENTECH, GREENSEA and BIOVITIS. The Group develops and produces innovative active ingredients for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and functional food. These ingredients are obtained from complex plants, algae, micro-algae and microorganic mechanisms from all over the world.
With over 100 employees, the group now has an annual turnover of almost €20 million, 80% of which is from the cosmetics market.
