About Inclusive Sourcing

 We are working to build a more sustainable and inclusive world

For many years now, L’Oréal’s ambition has been to associate economic performance with a positive societal and environmental impact. One of the levers in achieving this ambition is the Solidarity Sourcing program, L’Oréal’s social and inclusive purchasing program, launched in 2010. The program aims to open the Group’s calls for tenders to companies that employ people from vulnerable communities to allow them to have a durable access to work and income.
Also, the program is aimed at companies that traditionally do not have access to large calls for tenders of multinational companies.
The program has been recognized by public institutions and NGOs e.g. United Nations and has been identified as the best practice for inclusive sourcing program by B4IG* Solidarity Sourcing Program is promoting, celebrating, valorizing difference and uniqueness of each person. It thus stimulates value creation by empowering people, embracing the infinite diversity of ideas, encouraging the ability to innovate, people engagement, retention and loyalty, reputation, and overall business performance. It hence turns social inclusion commitment into a competitive advantage.
*B4IG (Business for Inclusive Growth) is a global CEO-led coalition of companies fighting against inequality in terms of income, opportunity and geography, powered by the OECD
