Employees of the Estee Lauder Companies
Jun 14, 2020
Thank you for signing this petition to engage an authentic conversation with the Estee Lauder Companies and inspire real change.
ELC has released a detailed action plan for the acquisition and development of Black employees, along with other structural changes to promote equity in the company.
Additionally, the company's planned donation has been significantly increased, exceeding the petition's goal:
"The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., its brands and the Lauder family pledge to give, including through the Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation and the company’s matching of employee gifts, a total of $10 million over the next three years to support racial and social justice and to continue to support greater access to education through groups such as NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., Equal Justice Initiative and The Young Women’s Leadership Schools (TWYLS). We will be donating $5 million in the coming weeks and an additional $5 million over the following two years. This pledge includes and builds upon the company’s $1 million pledge to support racial and social justice organizations previously communicated to our employees."
Ronald Lauder will remain on the company board. In a statement to the New York Times he pledged, “As a country, we must recommit ourselves to the fight against anti-Semitism and racism. In this urgent moment of change, I am expanding the scope of my anti-Semitism campaign to include causes for racial justice, especially in the Black community, as well as other forms of dangerous ethnic and religious intolerance around the world.”
