L’Oréal’s Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Board

“I believe in an inclusive, responsible and generous beauty. As the largest beauty company, we seek to create products that for every type of hair and skin. As an employer of people from 167 countries, we want to ensure that all of employees feel valued and welcomed. As the third largest advertiser in the world, we know we have a huge responsibility to represent beauty in all its diversity.
DE&I topics are complex. We seek to listen, learn and act in line with our sense of purpose - to create the beauty that moves the world.”

Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer - L'Oréal Groupe
L’Oréal launched our Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Board on January 19th, 2021, assembling a brilliant and diverse group of external experts and members of our leadership. The board is co-chaired by CEO Nicolas Hieronimus and Chief Global DE&I Officer Margaret Johnston-Clarke.

The Board’s role is to foster open discussion on how to strengthen L’Oréal‘s commitments and enrich our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy. Board members are welcomed to speak up, to share insights and constructive criticism helping contribute to our action plan to moving forward on all pillars, notably on “Socio-Economic & Multicultural Origins”. The Global Board meets multiple times per year, with local DE&I Advisory Boards in North America and in the UK & Ireland

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion issues are more pressing and essential today than ever before. From consumers to employees, the level of awareness and demand for proof points on DE&I is unprecedented, which we see as a challenge and an opportunity to rise to the occasion.
We know that DE&I topics are complex and that no one person has all the answers. We must listen, learn and take informed action, in line with our Sense of Purpose, to Create the Beauty that moves the world.
