L’Oréal Citizen

Every year since 2010, L’Oréal employees around the world can support local non-profit organizations during a day of solidarity on their working hours. Employees can get involved in various initiatives, such as renovating non-profits premises, collecting waste, producing hygiene kits, or setting up well-being workshops for people in vulnerable situations.

In 2023, more than 27,400 employees volunteered in 73 countries to support more than 775 non-profit organizations through 1,220 missions.

Launched in 2018 in France, the Payroll Giving program allows employees to donate the cents from their paycheck to a non-profit organization.

In France, this donation can be supplemented with an additional financial contribution ranging from 1 to 20 euros. L'Oréal is committed to matching employee donations (up to an amount of €100,000 every year).

In 2023, over €231,000 were collected thanks to the participation of more than 2,400 employees in the program (including L'Oréal's matching contribution). This initiative has allowed for a total redistribution of over €1 million to these beneficiary organizations and has notably made it possible to plant nearly 235,000 trees.

To date, 5 countries have already adopted the Payroll Giving system, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan.

In order to help our partner non-profit organizations reinvent or make their models sustainable, employees of the Group can take part in a series of digital and in-person Hackathons for good^[1]. This new initiative allows employees to join forces with employees from other companies and use their skills for the common good.

Since its launch in 2018, 36 solidarity Hackathons and 9 Incubations have been organized by the L'Oréal Group, enabling over 650 employees to contribute to 36 non-profit organizations. In 2023, 6 solidarity Hackathons and 2 incubations took place, involving more than 240 employees, to support 8 non-profit organizations.

To help young people and contribute to the fight against the inequality of opportunities, the Group has launched in France: Citizen Time - Mentoring Program. It was created in collaboration with the Human Resources (L'Oréal for Youth^[2]) and Diversity Equity & Inclusion teams with the aim of supporting the "1 young person 1 mentor" initiative. It offers employees the opportunity to commit, in their personal time, to the beneficiaries of our partner non-profit organizations. Since 2021, nearly 1,000 employees have registered for a mentoring mission, thus growing our community of mentors.
