to hiring more Black employees across all levels of its business over the next five years in an attempt to reach U.S. population parity of 13 percent. In March of this year, Lauder established an Equity and Engagement Center of Excellence, led by Nicole Monson, senior vice president, equity and engagement.
“The program entails some experiential learning, there are focus groups and town halls and things like that that we’ve been doing to introduce this population to Estée Lauder and the beauty industry,” she said. As part of the From Every Chair program, Lauder assembled a council that asked each sponsee about their career goals in order to match them “where there are actually opportunities,” Monson said.
Lauder employees have made more than 4,000 donations to racial equity nonprofits through the company’s Good Work Program. Those donations have amounted to about $3 million, including company matches, according to Monson. Lauder typically hosts an in-person ID&E week, which became a virtual event this year due to COVID-19. More than 7,500 employees from 60 countries participated this year, with each region producing its own event.
MAC’s Black makeup artists formed the Melanin Beauty Collective, whose goal is to “make sure that young makeup artists or young talent have a place where they feel they’re represented,” Elliott said. “Having [Ambrose] bring to life the things that we can and should do, and think about it in a dimensional way has been extremely helpful for me, and also for our teams to start digging into how do we not just do what’s expected, but how do we take it beyond that,” Elliott said.Company-wide, Lauder has rethought much of its collective commitment to racial equity over the past year. Simultaneously, progress is being made in terms of gender equity.
Lauder has committed $5 million in grants to global efforts that support women and girls’ education. It has also expanded its child care and elder care support for employees in light of the pandemic, which has disproportionately impacted women.
