COMMITMENT
BEAUTY
IS A
BUILDING
RESPONSIBLE,
INCLUSIVE GROWTH
At L’Oréal, we want Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to guide all our
activities. Since beauty is our profession, it is our duty to preserve the
beauty of the world by means of eco-designed products manufactured in
environmentally friendly ways and to raise consumers’ awareness of the
importance of sustainable development. Because our company is insepa-
rably linked to the communities around it, we strive to combine eco-
nomic performance with the creation of value for everyone. Our philan-
thropic initiatives pursue this goal, of course, but our inclusive business
models and our policy of constant dialogue with all our stakeholders also
help us to fully play our role as a responsible corporate citizen.

L’ORÉAL RANKED
AMONG THE MOST
RESPONSIBLE
COMPANIES
In 2012, Vigeo, Europe’s number one
social analysis and rating agency,
published a list of the companies that
had demonstrated the strongest
commitment to social responsibility
over the past 10 years (based on a set
of 35 sustainability criteria). L’Oréal
was ranked number one in France,
number four in Europe and number
five worldwide. This ranking is a
reward for its ambitious policy,
which is making progress each year
in terms of both initiatives and results(1).
