4.7.1 Background

By putting people at the heart of its organisation, L'Oréal aspires to create an inspiring, innovative and inclusive working environment where all employees can thrive and at the same time contribute to the Group's sustainable growth.

The human relations (HR) policies L'Oréal has been implementing for many years support this ambition, built around two priorities: (i) care for the development of each employee through ongoing training, stimulating career paths and, for some, international opportunities; and (ii) a unique social model that combines competitive social benefits and sharing the fruits of growth.

Against this backdrop, and with a view to meeting the challenges of a world undergoing profound change, which are having an impact on both the organisation of work and attitudes towards it, the Group has for a long time been taking steps to prevent and anticipate the associated risks. It offers employees(1) an attractive, dynamic and secure environment in which to develop.

This section specifically addresses the material issues, policies, action plans and outcomes related to L'Oréal's employees, with a focus on working conditions, well-being and diversity, equity and inclusion, on which the Group's people model is founded.

(1) This section covers all L'Oréal employees, including non-active employees (in particular those on long-term sick leave, notice of departure, early retirement, extended unpaid leave), as well as interns and apprentices, who are considered according to their status under local law.
