Pioneer in term of gender equality
L’Oréal is committed every single day, everywhere in the world to promote women: equal opportunities for promotion and training and gender pay gap analysis. As a precursor, L’Oréal works with INED (the French Institute for Demographic Studies) since 2007 to analyze the gender pay gap in France. Since 2017, the Group has deployed this methodology internationally. L’Oréal is also regularly audited to obtain the GEEIS (Gender Equality European and International Standard) in 23 countries and EDGE (Economic Dividends for Gender Equality) certifications in 7 countries. In 2018, L’Oréal was one of the most committed companies in the creation of the “One in Three Women” Program against gender-based domestic violence.
