• V B2C Miscellaneous consumer requests made through call centres that require regulatory expertise: responses are provided to 100%<br />

of the requests received (for example: Does my product contain nanomaterials? Does my product contain animal-based extracts?). In<br />

2011, there were 1,520,422 consumer contacts (vs. 1.5 million in 2010).<br />

• B2B Technical information provided to logistics intermediaries (transporters, warehouses) to help them comply with their own regulatory<br />

obligations. 100% of the products are covereds.<br />

No formal charges were filed by a competent authority with the courts in 2011 to the group’s knowledge. However, the DGCCrF (General<br />

Directorate for Competition, Consumption and Fraud Control) issued a regulatory reminder. This reminder pertained to information on<br />

product leaflets that has become obsolete and was consequently considered to be likely to constitute a misleading commercial practice.<br />

an area for improvement in this domain may therefore be to contemplate improving document updating response time to ensure that<br />

L’oréal communication media are correct at all times.<br />

The Consumer relations Department is a key L’oréal group department. It is responsible for upholding and protecting the reputation<br />

and image of L’oréal and its brands, as well as for adapting to changes in the behaviour of the general public and constantly improving<br />

communication with consumers.<br />

one of the main objectives of the Consumer relations Department is to remain easily accessible to consumers. There are specialised<br />

teams whose role consists of ensuring that all consumers can contact us and obtain a response to their questions. Providing a response to<br />

each question is a requirement that enables L’oréal to position itself as a recognised beauty authority.<br />

L’oréal is currently conducting an audit of the Consumer relations Department with the Forrester Company to position and redefine this<br />

department’s organization within L’oréal.<br />

THE MISSIONS OF THE CONSUMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT ARE:<br />

• To effectively communicate with the general public: listen, advise, support and educate are the watchwords for each consumer who<br />

enters into contact with L’oréal.<br />

• To resolve disputes: responsibly and effectively manage disputes as soon as they arise and find a solution that satisfies both consumers<br />

and L’oréal.<br />

• To constantly communicate with the marketing teams: allow them to benefit from the public’s experience to constantly improve their<br />

products and consistently deepen their understanding of consumers.<br />

• To anticipate current affairs topics and ensure that awareness is raised at L’oréal on the subjects and issues that emerge from society.<br />

In 2011, the Consumer relations Department processed over 1.5 million contacts. There are 53 Consumer relations Departments in the<br />

L’oréal group. These departments cover 68 countries and have 404 employees devoted to consumer relations.<br />
