OUR AMBITION,
AN EXEMPLARY GOVERNANCE

“ The quality of governance relies on an open-minded and committed Board of Directors, the composition of which has been further enriched and diversified. The Board fosters strategic reflection and impetus and is an invaluable source of support for the General Management. The balance of powers is ensured by a clear distribution of tasks between its members. ”

AN OPEN-MINDED AND COMMITTED
BOARD OF DIRECTORS(1)

Convinced that stringent governance creates value for the company, the directors express their opinions in total independence, and act with the company’s long-term interest always first in mind. In 2014, the composition of the Board was broadened and diversified, with an increase in the number of women members, and the appointment of two employee members. The Board fosters strategic reflection and impetus, and reviews the main axes and opportunities for development, including acquisitions. It makes sure that the decisions made contribute to the implementation of the strategy.

Created in 2000, the Code of Ethics is the reference document that inspires the choices and guides the actions of L’Oréal's employees worldwide, whatever their position, on a daily basis. In 2014, the third edition of the Code was launched. For the past six years, Ethics Day has brought together employees from around the world in order to facilitate dialogue on this subject within the group. In 2014, more than 50% of employees took part, over 4,000 questions were raised and analysed to identify practical initiatives. The ethics e-learning is a key element of the group's policy. It is mandatory since March 2014: this is the first time all employees within L'Oréal are invited to follow a common training course.
