Gender pay gap analysis in France
Since 2007, L'Oréal calls upon the Economix Institute that groups together renowned public research entities (INED, CNRS and Université Paris X), to conduct an annual gender pay gap analysis in France. The analysis has focused on median, mean and adjusted mean pay gap between men and women.
Evolution of the median gender pay gap*
*assessed by L’Oréal as a reliable and stable measure of central tendency
Evolution of the average/mean gender pay gap
*including Executive Committee (10% without)
Analysis of average/mean gender pay gap
The "average" or "mean" pay gap for 2021 was 11% in favor of men (8% for Top Executives, 9% for Senior Management, 5% for Middle Management, 2% for Professional and -4% for Support).
The "adjusted" average pay gap, once structural effects are taken into account (all things equal), is reduced to 2.5%. The structural effects considered are, for example, level of responsibility, age, seniority and working time.

Nationality & Multicultural Origins
170
nationalities across 68 countries*
(*Consolidated companies)
Global figures regarding the Multicultural Origins of our employees are not available. Aligned with UN recommendations, each country investigating ethnic characteristics of its population must carefully define terms such as “race”, “origin” or “tribe” which may have differing connotations. By nature of the topic, categories and their definitions will vary widely from country to country; therefore no internationally accepted criteria are possible.
