L’Oréal for Youth fosters youth employment
Because young people are among the first victims in times of economic crisis, L’Oréal has initiated a global programme to foster youth employment. L’Oréal for Youth is a three-pronged programme: supporting young people as they take their first steps towards working life by providing more work opportunities (25,000 each year as of 2022); boosting their employability by giving them access to learning content, coaching and a mentoring system; forming partnerships and raising awareness of the issue of youth employment. L’Oréal has partnered with the Global Alliance for Youth, which works with governments, foundations, youth organisations, academia and the private sector to help millions of young people enter the world of work each year.
L’Oréal recognised for its leadership in gender equality
In 2021, L’Oréal featured in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index for the fourth year in a row. The Index highlights 380 companies across 44 countries and regions that demonstrate a proactive commitment to female leadership and talent pipeline, gender pay parity, inclusive culture and sexual-harassment prevention policies. In 2021, women held 55% of the Group’s key positions, represented 50% of the Board of Directors and made up 32% of the Executive Committee.
L’Oréal was also included in the Equileap Global Gender Equality Ranking for the fourth year running: in 2021 the Group came fourth out of more than 4,000 companies in 23 countries worldwide, and topped the Equileap ranking in France.
