Brand Donations
The Estée Lauder Companies is partnering with BeautyUnited, an industry-wide effort, to support front-line healthcare workers with product donations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several ELC brands have committed to participating through donations and ELC executives have committed to driving awareness of the initiative.
The Estée Lauder brand is donating two million surgical masks for those on the front-lines in New York as part of our continued effort towards COVID-19 relief.
M∙A∙C Cosmetics' VIVA GLAM Fund will be allocating $10 million to 250 local organizations all over the world that are providing essentials needs and services to people at higher risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aveda is supporting The Salon & Spa Relief Fund to help care for the heart of the Aveda community: their artists, salons and spas. As a part of this initiative Aveda has donated $600,000 to help the salons get ready to reopen following recent mandated closures. In addition, Aveda is donating products to local communities all over the world. To date, Aveda has donated over 125,000 bottles of shampoo, lotion and other Aveda products to organizations and nonprofits helping those on the front-lines.
Clinique is donating 50,000 skin care products as a thank you to the doctors and nurses in New York City's hospitals.
ELC Cares Employee Relief Fund
The Estée Lauder Companies announced the creation of the ELC Cares Employee Relief Fund (ELC Cares Fund), which is made possible thanks to contributions from the company, the Lauder family and ELC employees. The newly established fund is dedicated to supporting ELC employees worldwide facing financial hardships due to COVID-19.
The establishment of the ELC Cares Fund is also a testament to the generosity of spirit of ELC's employees. To support an increasing desire to help one another in times of difficulty, eligible employees globally can donate to the ELC Cares Fund. Additionally, eligible U.S. and U.K. employees have the option to donate to the fund with a five-times company match through the end of June 2020, up to employees' annual match cap.
Hand Sanitizer Production
The Estée Lauder Companies is also contributing to the broader COVID-19 relief efforts by producing hand sanitizer for high-need groups and populations, including front-line medical staff, at our Melville, New York, Oevel, Belgium and Lachen, Switzerland manufacturing facilities. In addition, our UK-based Whitman manufacturing facility also produced Jo Malone London-branded and Estée Lauder-branded hand sanitizer, to be donated to front-line workers and employees.
As the COVID-19 crisis evolves, ELC will continue to align its philanthropic resources based on emerging needs, prioritizing food, medical and emergency assistance.
