Clichy, France, March 5, 2026 – L'Oréal, the world leader in beauty, announces an additional commitment of 50 million euros for its L’Oréal Fund for Women. Created in 2020 to address social emergencies exacerbated by the pandemic, L’Oréal has decided to renew this endowment for a period of five years (2026-2030) with the aim to contribute, among other philanthropic supports, to enhancing the well-being, empowerment and resilience of 5 million women by 2030.
The L'Oréal Fund for Women is dedicated to transforming the lives of women and girls in highly vulnerable situations. In a context where inequality gaps are widening and women’s rights are still often challenged, this commitment aims to strengthen civil society’s fundings, that remain critical.
To amplify its impact and address these challenges and working with expert associations and NGOs, the Fund will focus on four key areas of impact: economic empowerment, education, fight against violence, and access to sexual and reproductive health.
“For over a century, women have been at the heart of L’Oréal’s societal commitment. In a context that is ever harder on them, our conviction that women empowerment is key to a fairer and more sustainable future for all has led us to renew the L'Oréal Fund for Women with an allocation of 50 million euros over five years. This is true to our values and our mission to create the beauty that moves the world,” said Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer of L'Oréal.
“L'Oréal is proud to intensify its philanthropic action for women, convinced that it is an essential lever for social progress. Since 2020, the L'Oréal Fund for Women has contributed to support more than 6 million women, in partnership with over 500 associations worldwide. We think it is our profound responsibility to amplify our unwavering commitment to women,” added Ezgi Barcenas, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer of L'Oréal.
