For L’Oréal, incorporating social, environmental, and economic concerns is fundamental for its strategy and its activities, as it is with choosing partners and its supplier relations.
To that end, L’Oréal has set up a social responsibility program (the L’Oréal buy & care program) for dealing with suppliers in order to enforce fundamental aspects such as: compliance with laws in force, respecting human and labor rights, and protecting the environment and the health and safety of workers.
The Group has recently strengthened its approach around the world, by improving its assessment methodologies, for the purposes of tracking its community of suppliers. What's more, Safety/Health/Environment social audits are frequently conducted worldwide all throughout the logistics chain in order to approve of suppliers' choices and continuously improve existing partnerships.
