In the face of various business and societal challenges encountered in the last few years, our company demonstrated resilience and embraced our mission to fulfil our purpose and cultivate responsible business growth. By formalizing our commitment to environmental, social, and governance issues, we seized the opportunity to attain the core objective of delivering authentic beauty. This involved establishing employee-led giving and diversity committees, as well as extending our internal and external support to address environmental and social challenges within our supply chains. Recognizing our role as industry leaders, we are pleased to present the outcomes of our impact strategies in this report, and we eagerly anticipate building upon our commitments in the years to come.

As an organization, we embrace our responsibility and recognize the opportunity to contribute to a promising future for generations to come to long-term success. Throughout the year, we continued to support our role in empowering women, enhancing leadership diversity, and inspiring team members worldwide through our philanthropic and sustainability initiatives. Throughout this journey, our people-first approach remained unwavering.

We remain dedicated to upholding this pledge and further strengthening our ongoing initiatives in traceability, human rights due diligence, and auditing programs. Furthermore, we are delighted to share that our audits have provided evidence of our suppliers’ adherence to our Code of Conduct, which emphasizes the equitable and respectful treatment of all workers.

In light of the continued global environmental impact resulting from freight movement and other carbon-emitting factors, we have augmented our commitment to expand our efforts to measure and reduce our environmental footprint. Additionally, we have strengthened our corporate philanthropy through our various channels, supporting a wide array of initiatives aimed at tangibly enhancing the beauty of the world. Notably, we have provided significant grants to various organizations such as driving the welfare of youth, underprivileged children, and marginalized families by granting them access to education and other essential services.

A lot has changed in the trade over the years but our product quality and ethics remain unchanged!
