Receiving a Corporate Startup Stars Award

Run by the open innovation advisory firm Mind the Bridge and the International Chamber of Commerce, this award recognizes our active and collaborative approach with startups.

As the Beauty Tech champion, we partner in a co-creation mode with cutting-edge startups and suppliers, through our BOLD Corporate Venture fund for example. Before entering partnerships, we establish the strategic areas that complement or accelerate our internal capabilities, from Green Sciences to Tech Solutions. 

Together, we fertilize L'Oréal's century-old expertise and data to push scientific and tech boundaries, pioneering superior beauty experiences.  

 

Collaboration and partnerships are the key to innovating better, faster and to offer the best beauty experiences and services to our customers. It’s together that we shape the Future of Beauty, in a win-win partnership.
