Our convictions and commitments
The Fondation L’Oréal supports and empowers women to shape their future and make a difference through scientific research and inclusive beauty
Our vision
The Fondation L'Oréal is committed to empowering women, enabling them to express their full potential, take control of their destiny, and make a positive impact on society, through two areas of intervention that are central to L'Oréal's commitments: scientific research and inclusive beauty.
In today's world, persistent cultural biases and sexist stereotypes still prevent women from fully realizing their potential. Inequalities are widening and these obstacles are multiplying, also affecting their ability to contribute fully to a more just and sustainable world.
This is why, since 2007 and more than ever, the Fondation L'Oréal has been mobilized, with and for women, so that they can take their rightful place and contribute to building a more inclusive and sustainable world.
The Fondation L’Oréal has fought for a more inclusive world for more than 20 years.
Our mission
Science: encouraging women's scientific excellence and inspiring future generations.
The Fondation L’Oréal is committed to supporting women scientists at every stage of their careers, from sparking vocations at a young age to recognizing excellence in established researchers. This commitment translates into an intergenerational approach and dedicated programmes.
In partnership with UNESCO, The Fondation L’Oréal has run the "For Women in Science" programme since 1998. This programme aims to accelerate the careers of women scientists, remove the obstacles they face, and inspire younger generations to embrace scientific careers. To date, the programme has supported more than 4,700 researchers from over 140 countries, promoting scientific excellence and encouraging many young women to pursue scientific studies.
The Fondation L’Oréal also invests in the future of women in science through its "For Girls in Science" programme. This programme aims to inspire scientific vocations in young girls by raising their awareness of the scientific challenges of tomorrow and introducing them to inspiring female role models. The goal is to support and encourage the next generation of female scientists, giving them the keys to succeed in scientific fields.
Inclusive Beauty: restoring self-esteem and promoting professional integration.
Convinced that beauty contributes to the process of rebuilding lives, the Fondation L’Oréal helps vulnerable women to improve their self-esteem through free beauty and wellness treatments. These treatments help restore their self-esteem and help them regain confidence.
At the same time, the Fondation L’Oréal promotes the professional integration of vulnerable women through excellent training in beauty professions. On average, 16,000 women benefit from these treatments each year, and more than 67,000 people have been trained in beauty professions since the programme's launch.
