Clichy, 26th October 2021 - The French Ministry for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities presented the 8th edition of the Awards for the Feminization of the Governing Bodies of SBF120 companies. L'Oréal won the "Parité du Top 100" Special Award for the Feminization of Governing Bodies.

As a socially responsible leader in the beauty industry, L'Oréal is committed to establishing gender equality and parity at all levels of the company.

This yearly ranking examines the male-female ratio of the top 120 French companies listed on the stock exchange. The ranking takes into account the proportion of women in their governing bodies to foster gender equality in the workplace, particularly at the highest level of the company, in order to challenge the glass ceiling that too often affects women.

The "Parité du Top 100" special award given to L'Oréal is the outcome of a long-standing voluntary policy to foster gender equality in the workplace at all levels of the company. The Group has made numerous commitments to achieve this objective, including providing equal access to promotion and training, with the result that 51% of the top 100 positions in the Group are occupied by women.

"This award recognizes our profound commitment to ensuring gender equality. I am proud that L'Oréal has been recognised for its exemplary approach to this strategic issue. Winning this award goes to the heart of our commitment to create the beauty that moves the world; it commits us to maintaining this course and going beyond what the law requires of us", said Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer of L'Oréal.
