4.7.5 Outcomes

4.7.5.1 Characteristics of the undertaking's employees (S1-6)

To better understand the changes in characteristics of L'Oréal's workforce, it is important to note a change in the method of calculation in 2024 compared to previous years.

L'Oréal previously published information regarding its statutory workforce, which included all active employees, i.e., those with contracts (permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time). Employees on leave (including long-term sick leave, notice of departure, early retirement, extended unpaid leave) were not included for the period under review. Interns and apprentices, in training as part of their schooling, were not included in the calculations. For comparison purposes, the statutory workforce for 2025 is published in note 5.1 to the consolidated financial statements (see section 5.6).

All the indicators below comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which specifies that the workforce reported shall include all people with an employment relationship with L'Oréal, whether active or not. The use of the results may be restricted in order to comply with public order provisions.

L'Oréal has therefore included in the workforce indicator employees on long-term sick leave, early retirement, unpaid leave and interns/apprentices if they are considered to have an employment relationship with the company in their respective countries.
