L’Oréal receives L’AGEFI Grand Prix Award for exemplary corporate governance

Speaking at the awards ceremony on 30 September, Christophe Babule, L’Oréal’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are very honoured to receive this distinction. It rewards the outstanding work done by our teams to embrace best practices in corporate governance, which is a highly strategic issue for L’Oréal. We have introduced a number of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) initiatives. Examples include gender equality (with women now representing 54% of the Group’s leadership positions), a transformation programme to make our factories carbon neutral and €100m in impact investing to protect and develop nature, biodiversity and the circular economy, along with another endowment fund to support the most vulnerable women. All of these examples clearly illustrate the way in which L'Oréal's business model combines economic and corporate excellence to create lasting value for all.”
