In fact, 6% of the nonconformities detected during the 2011 supplier audits related to the “child labor” part (contracts, employment
situation of staff aged 16 to 18), medical visits that did not take place, etc.).
all L’Oréal suppliers and subcontractors are required to comply with the group’s General Purchasing Conditions, which clearly stipulate
the obligation to conform to Conventions C138 and C182 of the International Labour Organization concerning the ban on child labor.
L’Oréal is also contributing to the abolition of forced labor. The use of prison labor is possible, directly or via a supplier/subcontractor, only
when it is voluntary within the context of a rehabilitation program and paid at the market rate.
Should more information be required, L’Oréal has developed a policy entitled

HR7
L’Oréal is also contributing to the abolition of forced labor. The use of prison labor is possible, directly or via a supplier/subcontractor, only
when he is voluntary within the context of a rehabilitation program and paid at the market rate.
all L’Oréal suppliers and subcontractors are required to comply with the group’s General Purchasing Conditions, which clearly stipulate the
obligation to conform to Conventions C29 and C105 of the International Labour Organization concerning the abolition of forced labor.
In 2011, 1% of the 793 audits performed at our Suppliers’ sites identified problems of forced labor.
This percentage corresponds to all nonconformities connected with the topic concerned, irrespective of their nature or seriousness.
Nonconformities observed are the subject of corrective actions and, in the most serious cases, may result in commercial relations being
halted or, where applicable, refusal to list a new supplier.
