Our Responsible & Sustainable Sourcing Policy
Working in Partnership with Our Extended Ecosystem
At L'Oréal Groupe, our purpose is to “Create the beauty that moves the world”. This conviction is intrinsically linked to our responsibility for the social and environmental impacts of our activities. In a context of growing environmental and social challenge, we believe that responsible and sustainable sourcing is both a fundamental duty and a business imperative. Our Business Partners are essential allies in this journey, and we are committed to moving forward together.
Our Responsible & Sustainable Sourcing Policy outlines our vision and shared ambitions. It is a comprehensive guide for integrating sustainability principles into every stage of our sourcing process, built on a foundation of collective intelligence and shared responsibility. The scope of this Policy encompasses all our suppliers (named “Business Partners” in our document), regardless of their size or scope of activity.
Through this policy we aim to clarify our expectations, consolidate our programs, and share our expertise. It is structured around four foundational pillars:
Respect Human Rights: Upholding internationally recognized human rights through our value chain.
Preserve the Environment: Safeguarding our planet’s ecosystems by addressing key areas like climate, water, biodiversity, and forests.
Promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Leveraging our global purchasing power to foster a more inclusive society, with our Inclusive Sourcing program.
Uphold Ethics and Business Integrity: Building and nurturing lasting relationships based on strong, shared ethical principles.
Beyond these pillars, the policy details our methodologies to strengthen our upstream supply chains and integrate our policy into purchasing practices, ensuring that sustainability is an inseparable component of business excellence.
