On the occasion of the 75th Festival de Cannes, L’Oréal Paris will honor one promising female short film director in the second annual edition of the brand’s signature Lights on Women Award program. The winner will be chosen from the Short Films Competition and La Cinef's selection at Cannes. The Award will be presented by Academy Award-winner, L’Oréal Paris spokesperson and Juror, Kate Winslet, at the Jeune Cinéma dinner in Cannes on May 27.

For the 5th year in a row, L’Oréal is among the top 20 most gender-balanced companies of the world in Equileap's Global Gender Equality Ranking.

L’Oréal Paris’ message is a call for women to believe in their self-worth and recognize their innate value both as women and as individuals. To spread the word more powerfully than ever before, the brand has enlisted the help of its ambassadors. In testimonials, they talk about how the tagline’s words have empowered them.

YSL Beauty's new hybrid makeup and skincare range, Nu, made in Caudry plant in France, has received Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver. As the most ambitious and actionable global standard for products that enable a healthy, equitable and sustainable future, this is the first time that a line of made-in-France beauty products has received this rigorous certification. Additionally, this important recognition reflects the brand's values when it comes to sustainability and its long-standing commitment to developing products in a way that limits their impact on the environment, from the design stage, to manufacturing through to the end of the product's life. Through its ongoing commitment to its sustainable practices, the brand aims to achieve Gold level certification in the coming years.

36 cosmetics and personal care companies as well as professional associations have joined forces to form the EcoBeautyScore Consortium, aiming to develop an industry-wide environmental impact assessment and scoring system for cosmetics products.

L’Oréal’s commitment to DE&I, including gender equity, includes taking a stand and sharing our results with transparency. L’Oréal has been recognized in Bloomberg’s 2022 Gender Equality Index (GEI), a benchmark indicator for the equality policies used by companies around the world. This recognition aligns with the Group’s efforts to meet its responsibility and sustainability objectives.

Standing up for the environment includes small everyday actions. To support consumers on their journey towards more sustainable and responsible choices, Garnier is repeating its “One Green Step” campaign. The idea is to encourage people to share the steps they are taking day-to-day to help the environment. The campaign is rooted in the brand’s commitments and its determination to promote Green Beauty that is accessible to everyone.

To celebrate female scientific excellence and shed light on some of the world’s leading, and most inspiring women researchers, our corporate foundation - the Fondation L'Oréal - and UNESCO have created a digital global event: the For Women in Science Festival.

L’Oréal is proud to join the Unstereotype Alliance, an industry-led initiative convened by UN Women that unites advertisers, industry leaders, and creatives to end harmful stereotypes in advertising.

Because men have been taught that saying I’m not ok is a weakness, too many of them will experience a period of depression in their lifetime. This year, L’Oréal is committed to help break the stigma surrounding male depression.
