Become a shareholder
« Our shareholders give us the means to fulfil our shared ambition. »
Jean-Paul Agon, Chairman of the Board of Directors, L’Oréal
Why take part in the L’Oréal Adventure?
Being a L’Oréal shareholder means believing in the strength of the Group’s balanced, multipolar model, which is underpinned by decisive assets and which creates sustainable value.
L’Oréal, leader in beauty worldwide
One sole vocation: beauty, all beauty and nothing but beauty
Our purpose
Create the beauty that moves the world
Our purpose is the bedrock of the Group – the solid foundation upon which it will continue to build a high- performance, committed, responsible, inclusive and caring company for decades to come.
Our vision
Beauty: a long-term perspective
Our acquisition policy, brand strategy, corporate social and environmental responsibility, shareholder policy, and corporate governance guidelines all adopt a long-term perspective. Given the uncertain and volatile context of the global economy, this long-term vision, stable shareholder structure and solid governance are real assets for the Group’s sustainable growth.
Our vocation
From “beauty for all” to “beauty for each”
L’Oréal covers more than 150 countries across all product categories, distribution channels and market segments. Its strategy is evolving from universalisation to singularisation to provide tailored, inclusive beauty solutions by listening carefully to individual consumer expectations.
Our passion
Innovation
L’Oréal’s passionate teams have an insatiable appetite for innovation. The Group relies on 20 research centres in 11 countries, a team of more than 4,000 researchers dedicated to Research & Innovation and 8,000 tech and digital professionals to shape the future of beauty and become a Beauty Tech powerhouse.
