DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
	Description L'Oréal strives to offer its employees a safe and respectful working environment, where everyone feels protected from all forms of violence and harassment. L'Oréal recognises that a lack of concrete and effective measures to deal with such situations could create a harmful working environment which negatively impacts employee well-being and mental health (stress, anxiety, depression, and even traumatic disorders), as well as performance and personal fulfilment. Similarly, a lack of diversity, equity and inclusion could lead to risks of inequality and discrimination, including gender pay gaps and low accessibility. This could have an impact on employees’ access to employment and career opportunities, professional development, well-being and engagement.
