L’Oréal Groupe today announced that it has been included among the top 50 ‘All-Stars’ in Fortune and Korn Ferry’s annual ranking of the World’s Most Admired Companies. The 2025 World’s Most Admired Companies list is an elite ranking of the most highly regarded, high-value organizations as voted by industry peers, with All-Stars featuring in the top 50 overall, across all industries. L'Oréal is the only French company in the top 50, rising two positions from number 43 in 2024, to number 41 in 2025. 

The Groupe also appears in the top 50 of Fortune and Korn Ferry’s “Changing the World” list, recognized for its long-running Brandstorm global innovation competition, which has jump-started the careers of tens of thousands of young people from all over the world since 1992. 

“To be recognized as one of the World’s Most Admired companies, and one that is Changing the World, is an honour that belongs to all L'Oréalians, all over the world. Together, we have built a company that stands for innovative, responsible and inclusive beauty,” said Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer, L'Oréal Groupe.“As we accelerate farther and faster to conquer new beauty spaces, we remain committed to creating the best products for consumers and to delivering socio-economic value beyond the beauty industry.”

Korn Ferry and Fortune analyzed 650 companies and surveyed more than 3,300 executives to measure reputation based on nine different attributes, including each firm’s effectiveness in conducting business globally, its ability to attract, develop, and keep talent, its value as a long-term investment, its innovativeness, its wise use of corporate assets, and its responsibility to the community and environment. Top-scoring attributes among the All-Stars remain financial stability, strong management, and global reach.
