L’Oréal enriches its brand portfolio

L’Oréal continues to expand its brand portfolio, which is today the richest, strongest and most diverse in the global cosmetics industry.

Recently, the Group signed an exclusive long-term beauty partnership with Jacquemus, reinforced by a minority stake supporting its independent development. Jacquemus will complement L’Oréal Luxe’s portfolio of iconic brands and strengthen the Division’s global leadership.

L’Oréal also took a minority stake in the high perfumery house Amouage. Founded in Oman in 1983, Amouage has redefined the Arabian art of perfumery, garnering a global reputation; its creations are present today in the world’s finest luxury sales points.

Furthermore, L’Oréal finalised the acquisition of Dr.G, the Korean skincare brand, which joins the Consumer Products Division to meet rising demand for K-Beauty.

L’Oréal’s dual excellence in action

At L’Oréal, we are committed to combining economic performance with positive social and environmental impact.

In March 2025, the Group launched L’Oréal Act for Dermatology, a €20 million, five-year programme spearheaded by its Dermatological Beauty Division that aims to democratise access to skin health in support of the 2.1(1) billion people worldwide living with skin disease.

As part of the programme, the Group is embarking on a partnership with the WHO Foundation, to support the World Health Organisation’s efforts to combat common skin diseases, as well as those caused by neglected tropical diseases, and contribute to increasing global awareness of the impact of skin diseases. 

L’Oréal has once again been recognised for its environmental and social commitments:

  • Only company in the world to have obtained a Triple A from CDP(2) for the 9th consecutive year;
  • EcoVadis Platinum Medal: L’Oréal is ranked among the top 1% of companies for its environmental and social performance;
  • Ranked among the top 5 companies in the world for Diversity and Inclusion by the FTSE Russell Diversity & Inclusion Index Top 100 for the 2nd consecutive year and No.1 French company.
