We want tomorrow’s world to be fair, diverse, and inclusive. And we want women to be part of shaping it. We have a proud history of empowering women and working with them to build the world of tomorrow.
We express this commitment through a series of actions. First, with a charitable endowment fund to support highly vulnerable women: the L’Oréal Fund for Women, launched in 2020, in the context of the COVID 19 crisis. At the same time, our brands are taking action, using their influence to raise awareness among partners, clients, and consumers to advance the cause of women.
In addition to our philanthropic initiatives, we have teamed up with suppliers to develop solidarity programs, including our Inclusive Sourcing initiative. Two-thirds of the beneficiaries of Inclusive Sourcing projects are women.
Within our workplace, we aim to achieve gender equality at all levels and in every function of the business. We provide regular leadership training to all employees, including dedicated initiatives to help develop and nurture female leaders to progress to senior leadership positions. In 2024, both the UK Executive Leadership Team and the L’Oréal UK Board of Directors was gender balanced. Our work to develop female leaders includes dedicated programs like Ignite, which is specifically tailored to address the challenges women face in advancing to senior roles. Alongside Ignite, our Ivy House six-month executive leadership programme, complete with workshops, mentoring, and coaching, is another valuable resource available to emerging female talent. We also provide high impact executive coaching for female leaders moving into leadership positions.
L’Oréal ranked among Top 10 most gender-equitable companies in the world according to the 2024 Equileap Gender Equality Report and Ranking. Equileap is the leading global data provider for diversity & inclusion gender equality.
For 20 years, we've acted to build a business that is inclusive at heart.
Diversity is our strength.
It helps us to create products and services that aim to cater for all skin and hair types, genders, identities, cultures and ages.
