Sephora reaffirms its commitment
to combating domestic violence
in the United States
In 2017, after the death of two of its employees, Sephora North America made a commitment to combat the scourge of domestic violence. A year later, this commitment gave rise to Sephora Cares, part of its broader Sephora Stands program, which cov- ers all the Maison s undertakings in the field of social and environmental responsibility. Sephora Cares takes action on three levels: raising aware- ness, providing training on how to help victims, and offering personal- ized support for survivors. Amidst the lockdown, where domestic violence rates have surged, Sephora has reaf- firmed the importance of this strong commitment.
Positive social and environmental
impacts through Sephora Stands
In 2020, Sephora continued to strengthen its Sephora Stands CSR program developed in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Its aim is to generate positive social and environmental impacts on Sephora s employees, communities and the planet. It has three key priorities, including giving back and promoting inclusion. Sephora has forged ties with more than 500 local NGOs around the world, providing them with financial support, involving its employees through volunteering initiatives and mobilizing customers to round up purchase amounts as a donation and buy products that raise funds for good causes. Sephora also organ- izes sales of fundraising products, the proceeds of which are donated to partner nonprofits.
La Grande Épicerie de Paris supports
its suppliers during the lockdowns
Thanks to its status as an essential business, La Grande Épicerie de Paris was able to stay open, day in day out, throughout the lockdowns that were brought into force in France. But this would never have been possible without the commit- ment and professionalism of the store s employees. The retailer managed to maintain the orders placed at its two Paris- based stores, Rive Gauche and Rive Droite, with its suppliers often small-scale local food producers and support them during this par- ticularly crucial period. In addition, to offer some comfort during this trying time, 4,000 choc- olates were donated to the AP HP hospital system for healthcare providers.
