At the end of 2017, more than 28,000 employees have taken part in “Diversity Training Workshops” all over the world

Since 2010, L’Oréal has also been a committed participant in EVE programme seminars. This is an initiative of the Danone Group that strives to help women to become agents of change in their companies thanks to inspirational and motivational abilities. Since 2014, there has been a new Asia-Pacific EVE seminar and another was launched in Africa in December 2017. At the end of 2017, 430 Group employees have had the opportunity to take party in this training since its creation. The internal training programme LeadEnable, launched this year for the Group's top managers, supports managerial transformation and promotes new ways of managing teams and of working together, in particular, by incorporating an inclusive management component.

This has been reflected, for a number of years, in the desire to systematically control the risks related to the safety of people and the environment, that are inherent in the Group’s business activities. Any establishment or renovation of a site, any launch of new equipment or manufacturing processes, any changes in industrial processes give rise to a risk assessment and action plans that make it possible to reduce their potential impacts. This commitment has led to deployment of the Group’s EHS policy over the entire spectrum of its business activities, but also beyond it. Indeed, in the area of safety, the Group ensures compliance with the regulations and observance of its own standards on its sites (industrial or administrative sites, research laboratories, stores), and makes sure that its subcontractors and suppliers ensure the safety of persons and the environment through a specifically dedicated audit programme. With respect to the environmental policy, it covers the entire value chain for products: from design (eco-design of packaging and formulas, reduction of the impact of formulas on ecosystems, etc.) and sourcing of raw materials (respect for biodiversity, fight against deforestation, etc.), to production, distribution and transportation. It also incorporates the Group’s real estate assets.

THE L’ORÉAL GROUP’S 3.1.3.

A pioneering, socially responsible company, L’Oréal applies an ambitious policy with regard to the Environment (E), Health (H) and Safety (S) in order to minimise its environmental impact and guarantee the health and safety of employees, customers and the communities in which the Group performs its business activities.
