L'Oréal USA has followed Amazon and PepsiCo in signing the White House Equal Pay Pledge as part of its involvement in the United State of Women summit.
In making its commitment to the workplace gender-equality pledge, the company “has committed to conducting an annual company-wide gender pay analysis, reviewing promotion processes and hiring to reduce unconscious bias, and embedding equal pay efforts into broader equity initiatives”, it said in a press release.
In 2014, the French multinational’s American arm became the first US company to be given the Economic Dividends for Gender Equality global standard for implementing gender equality in the workplace.
Frédéric Rozé, CEO of L'Oréal Americas, said, “L'Oréal USA is a steadfast supporter of gender balance in the workplace, and we are proud to stand with other companies, at the United State of Women, who have chosen to make pay equity a priority.
"L'Oréal believes that a diversified and fulfilled workforce will only strengthen our creativity, allowing us to understand our consumers better and enable us to develop the most innovative products for them."
