3 L'Oréal’s corporate social, environmental and societal responsibility* THE SHARING BEAUTY WITH ALL PROGRAMME

This programme has offered the opportunity for the Group’s purchasers to enrich their jobs by contributing to improving the lives of thousands of people involved in the production of the goods and services purchased. As a result, in 2017, the number of purchasers involved in a Solidarity Sourcing project reached 141 an increase of 20% compared with 2016. In addition, L’Oréal encourages its strategic suppliers to implement programmes inspired from the Solidarity Sourcing programme for their own purchases. In 2017, 9% of these suppliers have thus applied a similar programme. L’Oréal pledged that 20% of them would be involved in the project by 2020.
