Our commitments
We offer jewelry free of nickel, cadmium or lead that respects both natural well-being and your love of jewelry.
Since natural resources are limited, we carefully select our partners who commit to limiting their environmental impacts to preserve our ecosystem.
At BeCOO, we are convinced that we can combine the beauty of our creations with a commitment that respects people and our environment.
To achieve this, we have chosen to support associations that work for the well-being of vulnerable people.
Currently, we support the Cerebral Valais Association whose goal is to improve the living conditions, integration and participation of people with disabilities in society: with each order, a donation is made to the Cerebral Valais Association .
The Valais Cerebral Association , then called IMC-Valais It was founded in 1963 by a small group of parents. At the time, there was virtually no structure in Valais to help families of disabled people.
Initially, it was therefore crucial for parents of children with cerebral palsy to come together, first to feel less alone in the face of their common problem, and then to be stronger in the fight for the evolution of the Valais social system.
The Association has grown and now includes more than 200 families throughout Valais. It organizes a large number of activities, both for parents and for people with disabilities.
In 2003, when it celebrated its 40th anniversary, the IMC-Valais Association affiliated itself with the Swiss Cerebral Foundation and the Swiss Cerebral Association, which gave it its new identity, namely Cerebral Valais.
In 2011, the home collection service was launched.
To date, and for more than 50 years, the association has continued to grow.
