Sephora

Sephora believes in championing all beauty, living with courage, and standing fearlessly together to celebrate our differences.

Even if we stumble, we will never stop building a community where diversity is expected, self-expression is honored, all are welcomed, and you are included. This mission informs our brand platform, “We Belong to Something Beautiful,” which is our guiding light and motivates all we do.

Our work around diversity, inclusion, and equity is organized by initiatives that impact three cohorts:

• Our Clients

• Our Communities

• Our Employees

These efforts are part of Sephora’s comprehensive Diversity & Inclusion Heart Journey—our internal action plan to drive greater equity and belonging in all parts of our business.

We believe creating fair and anti-racist working environments is necessary to attracting, recruiting, and retaining the best talent. We’re committed to building environments where everyone belongs and you are included.

Challenge racial bias in retail

We recognize that racial bias exists, and at Sephora we are committed to doing all we can to ensure that the customer experience is never impacted by it. To better equip ourselves with the knowledge and insights needed to tackle this issue, we commissioned the first-ever large-scale study on Racial Bias in Retail today. Based on this research, we are implementing an action plan aimed at mitigating racially driven bias and negative experiences in the retail environment.

Latest update: We recently rolled out our complete study results to clients and colleagues in the retail industry. In Sephora stores, we’ve begun to implement an extensive set of research-driven changes—from staff training to updating our loss prevention standards to monitoring incidents of racial bias and improving client service. To view our learnings and action plan, see the eBook and video below.

SUPPORTING THE BEAUTY OF FEARLESSNESS

Our purpose is to inspire fearlessness. Through our new Sephora Stands social impact programs, we will use our strengths to promote even greater good by supporting female entrepreneurs in beauty, our communities, and our people.

• Sephora Accelerate: We stand with beauty businesses committed to social impact—and the women who create them. Our goal with this program is to support more than 50 of these female entrepreneurs though boot camps, mentorship, and small loans by 2020.
• Classes for Confidence: We stand with those facing major life transitions. By providing specialized beauty classes for women re-entering the workforce, our hope is to inspire confidence in 100,000 women through this program by 2020.
• Sephora Stands Together: We are a Sephora family, and we stand together in times of need. Through this focused effort, we will support our employees affected by natural disasters or unexpected life-changing events with financial aid.
