Rolling out initiatives locally in favour 3.1.4.3. of the communities In addition to the large programmes initiated by the Foundation and rolled out across the world, each and every L’Oréal entity is encouraged to take local actions in relation with the situations in their particular countries. In 2017, L’Oréal thus supported numerous projects throughout the world, involving actions in the fields of solidarity, education, culture or the environment. Citizen Day Armed with the conviction that everyone has a role to play, L’Oréal mobilises its employees at the time of a citizenship action day, known as Citizen Day. Every year since 2010, L’Oréal’s employees spend a day of their working time offering their skills and devoting their energy to several hundred associations in the social and environmental field. This involves, for example, cleaning natural sites, setting up well-being workshops for people in vulnerable situations, repainting senior centres or people facing hardships, helping job-seekers to prepare their résumés, etc. For the last eight years, more and more employees have demonstrated their commitment. In 2017, with some 30,000 participants and more than 166,000 hours of voluntary work, the L’Oréal Citizen Day provided support to 707 associations in 68 countries. Pursuing local initiatives in favour of employment L’Oréal is a leading economic player in all the geographical zones where it is established. On this basis, it contributes to local employment and thus participates in regional development. Within the scope of its policy for the professional integration of people who are having great difficulty finding work, the Group has undertaken a large number of local initiatives. In 2017, the Group continued its initiatives in several countries with the following examples in particular:

The distribution centre in Streetboro (USA) The distribution centre in Streetboro in the United States has entered into a partnership with the S.A.W association - Solutions At Work – in order to facilitate the professional integration of people with disabilities. S.A.W works with L’Oréal in order to identify activities that could be carried by people with disabilities within the centre and proposes candidates. In 2017, this partnership allowed 12 people with mental disabilities to be employed in Streetboro on packaging activities (labelling, sorting, etc.). This initiative enabled employment to be provided to people with disabilities and to increase their integration within a workplace environment. It also plays a role in raising the awareness of L’Oréal employees. The distribution centre in Denmark The L’Oréal distribution centre was recognised by the Greve local authority for its involvement in the training and inclusion of job-seekers. This involved training people between 19 and 54 years of age who are excluded from the employment market following unexpected life events and physical, mental or psychological disabilities. In 2017, 15 people were able to follow a programme at the centre which provided them with theoretical training in safety, ergonomics and rules to follow s in the world of employment. This training is provided by the centre's management teams; then additional practical training in the centre where they s are assisted by volunteer sponsors employed by L’Oréal and trained for this purpose. The 15 people sponsored received 2,078 training hours, of which 279 hours involved practical training, with the remainder being dedicated to theoretical training in order to guarantee the effective integration into and adjustment of these people to the professional world. Since then, four have been working at Greve as temporary employees, three have found a job in other companies, three have resumed studying for degrees and one person is still being trained at Greve.
