Diversity is a fundamental value for L’Oréal. A mixture of skills and the diversity of our teams are one of the keys to the Group's success.
L’Oréal Group applies this diversity policy within its community of suppliers. Collaborations are set up with local companies, small and medium enterprises and social integration companies.
In February 2010, with 18 leading French companies L’Oréal signed "10 commitments for responsible purchasing" in the presence of Mrs Christine Lagarde, Minister for the Economy, Industry and Employment. The charter is a basis for negotiation and mediation between large companies and SMEs.
L’Oréal USA provides ongoing support for NMSDC (National Minority Supplier Development Council) and sponsors of its annual event which recognises companies who support minority-owned companies.
It also sponsors minority business suppliers to allow them to become member of the NMSDC.
