CANADA: Every year since 2010, L’Oréal employees dedicate an entire workday during the summer to support NGOs committed to social and environmental initiatives. This includes actions such as cleanups of natural sites, leading well-being workshops for the elderly, the refurbishment of welcome centers for people in fragile situations, and assistance with résumés. In 2017, a total of 200,000 hours of voluntary work was carried out all around the world throughout the summer, including some 2,000 hours in Canada on June 8 alone.
“Citizen Day has become a key moment in our company’s life,” said Isabel Marey-Semper, executive vice president communications and public affairs, general manager, L’Oréal Foundation. “This day, organized around five axes—disability, fight against exclusion, acting for employment, intergenerational solidarity and the environment—requires several months of preparation in close collaboration with our NGO partners. The enthusiasm, energy and motivation of everyone taking part allow us to have a positive and concrete impact on the beneficiaries of the NGOs that we support.”
