L’Oréal recognises that success is no longer in its economic performance, but its ability to be a true citizen. It is our priority to reduce the impact of our activity on the planet. Our long-term initiatives are “For Women In Science”, “Beauty For A Better Life”, “Citizen Day” and “Women in Business”.
Sustainability at L’Oréal is a journey and sustainability practices are incorporated into everything we do. From innovations to current productions, to the way we live and the way we source, sustainability is a part of our core. By the end of 2020, 100% of our products will have an improved environmental or social profile. We will do this through various initiatives that include reducing the environmental footprint of formulas, respecting biodiversity through a sustainable sourcing policy for raw materials, committing to zero deforestation, and using eco-designed packaging.
L’Oréal’s approach to Ethics is based on four essential principles: Integrity, Respect, Courage, and Transparency. We are committed to putting ethics first and these principles allow us to continue to be a trusted Group in which we love to work. The Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, has recognized L’Oréal as one of the 2019 World’s Most Ethical Companies. For us, gender-equity, sustainability, and giving our employees the right to speak up aren’t ‘nice to haves’, they are must-haves.
When we look for talent, we look in unexpected places for different personalities, mindsets, backgrounds, and experiences that we know will do great things together. We empower our people to take risks and approach challenges unconventionally to change lives through beauty. People at L’Oréal are as colourful as the products we create; you can work with 150 nationalities speaking over 58 different languages. The beauty we find in our differences is the power that makes us stronger.
