MANAGEMENT APPROACH<br />

Society<br />

The Code of Business Ethics is the reference document for ethics within L’Oréal. It helps employees integrate the L’Oréal spirit into their<br />

daily activity. The Code of Business Ethics applies to all employees of the L’Oréal group and its subsidiaries worldwide. It also pertains to all<br />

L’Oréal group officers, directors and members of executive committees and boards of the L’Oréal group and its subsidiaries worldwide. Each<br />

employee receives a personal copy of the Code of Business Ethics.<br />

The Code of Business Ethics was drafted with the help of employees from 22 countries who took part in international working groups in Latin<br />

america, North america, asia and Europe. The Code was then validated by 50 internal experts and reviewed by each Country Manager,<br />

Human resources Manager and local legal advisor.<br />

> For more information, read the Code, which is available in 43 languages, on the official L’Oréal English-language website:<br />

CODE OF ETHICS FOR GROUP EMPLOYEES WORKING WITH SUPPLIERS<br />

aspects of society, such as communities, corruption, public policy, unfair business practices and regulatory compliance, are all an integral part<br />

of L’Oréal’s management approach. In observance of the Code of Business Ethics, the Ethics Department and the Purchasing Department<br />

created and implemented a document for all group employees who deal with suppliers. The purpose of this document is to guide the 600<br />

professional buyers and 10,000 occasional buyers involved in purchasing decisions in their daily relations with suppliers.<br />
