Our engagement

and environmental.
Thanks to you, Sephora is the largest beauty community in the world. Thank you! A virtue which is driving us to do more to support those who are taking bold steps to make the world a better place... in all respects!
It is with this objective in mind that we launched “Sephora Stands”. With this programme, the SEPHORA brand not only undertakes but also proposes initiatives to help develop responsible social and environmental practices.
We want to make beauty cleaner, more respectful of individuals and ecosystems and support communities for greater solidarity and inclusion...
Today, and through this programme, SEPHORA, its partners and employees share a joint commitment which aims to increase their positive impact on the world around us.

FOR WOMEN
FOR LGBTQI+
FOR THE PLANET
Everyone is welcome at Sephora, where we aspire to be the world's most loved beauty community.
We are committed to beauty that is inclusive and diverse, empowering individuals and raising their self-esteem.
We face up to environmental challenges, limiting our impact, giving transparent information to our clients and tackling the plastic packaging issue.
Wherever we are, this is what Sephora Stands for.
Women empowerment
At Sephora, all women count.
So whenever we can, we encourage equal opportunities. This begins in our offices, where we make sure we develop their career opportunities. Sephora is also one of the companies that has almost achieved parity in terms of the presence of women on its executive committee.
And that's not all... Our support policies are not just internal; we open them up to women’s communities that still need to assert themselves. Welcome to them!
Classes for confidence
For several years, Sephora has been hosting its “Classes for Confidence”. These beauty sessions, held in small groups, help women who struggle to find time for themselves. During a lesson, they learn or relearn to look after themselves. They learn or relearn to apply treatments or make-up using a few simple gestures and principles. They are guided by our beauty specialists. These sessions take place in most countries. We organise them regularly with our partner associations who support women looking for work, or after cancer treatment. In 2019, over 1,000 women took part in them. A source of great pride.
All at school - (Or Local Association)
In France, SEPHORA has been supporting the Tous à l'Ecole association since 2011, allowing young girls from underprivileged backgrounds to access a very good education and change the world of tomorrow. More than 6 classes of disadvantaged young girls have benefited from the quality education of this school.
Sephora accelerate
Around the world, more women are creating businesses in the beauty industry. We want to support them! That’s exactly what we’ve been doing through SEPHORA Accelerate since 2016. Over 50 women from the United States, Europe and Asia have participated in this programme in the last four years. To give you an idea, SEPHORA Accelerate includes 1 year of support, under the guidance of a senior Sephora director, and the opportunity to present their project to investors. We are delighted to provide this boost.

Lgbtq community
On 25 June 2019, Chris de Lapuente, CEO of Sephora, joined Chantal Gaemperle, Group Executive Vice President Human Resources and Synergies for the LVMH Group, to sign the five main Standards of Conduct for Business on Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI people issued by the United Nations.
We believe that these five standards are vital. They agree to respect the human rights of employees, customers and members of the LGBTI community, eliminate discrimination in the workplace, support LGBTI personnel at work and not discriminate against LGBTI customers, suppliers and distributors. They also mean that we will do everything we can to make sure our business partners do the same by defending the human rights of LGBTI people in the communities where they do business. These are promises which we are committed to keeping.
Our stores
We did an analysis and found that the electricity consumption of our stores is our primary source of greenhouse gas emissions.
The second is the CO2 emissions related to our logistics chain. So, our efforts are naturally focused on these 2 priorities. We used the 2013 figures as the starting point; from there, Sephora committed to reduce the CO2 emissions due to the operation of its stores by 25%. We’ve already decreased our emissions by over 50% since this date and we're not stopping there!
We’re continuing to invest in less energy-consuming solutions. Furthermore, over 50% of the electricity consumed by our stores in Europe comes from renewable sources, all with green energy certificates. Finally, in 2020, 75% of our stores in Europe are lit exclusively using LED systems. An LED solution consumes 30% less energy than halogen lighting. With all this, we can feel better already, can't we?
Our logistics
Where there are options, Sephora takes them! For example, in France, Italy and Spain, we have been able to reduce our CO2 emissions and pollution in city centres by using alternative delivery solutions for our stores. The proof? In France, 50% of our deliveries have been made by fully-electric vehicles for over 10 years.
Good for
With our “GOOD FOR” selection, it is easier for our customers to choose products that are in line with their values and concerns. Formulas, packaging and respect for animal welfare: so you can change your routine!
Sephora collection
We care for good
Our Sephora Collection brand is also the source of a major sustainable development programme, “We CARE FOR GOOD”! This program includes ambitious commitments on formulas, packaging and initiatives and impact reduction actions for all production and distribution activities.
Good for recycling*
Our “GOOD TO RECYCLE” programme enables all our customers to return their beauty product packaging to our stores so that it can be recycled or given a second life. Over to you!
Responsible supply chain
Throughout our entire supply chain we are looking to improve working conditions as much as possible! In this regard, Sephora is helping its many suppliers to streamline their practices and production sites.
In addition, in a responsible purchasing approach and in partnership with Ecovadis, Sephora is assessing the CSR performance of its strategic suppliers.
Another requirement: we are conducting regular physical audits of all production sites in vulnerable geographic areas. These audits are being conducted by independent firms in accordance with the recognised standards for social and environmental practices. We want good objective results!
