The strength of our company is rooted in the collective diversity of backgrounds and unique perspectives of our employees.

We are committed to amplifying their talents and ensuring our workforce understands and represents the global consumer base and the communities we serve. ELC CELEBRATES GLOBAL INCLUSION, DIVERSITY & EQUITY WEEK In May of 2021, our Global ID&E Week theme highlighted The Beauty of Resilience: Moving Forward Stronger Together . We paid tribute to the amazing dedication and hardwork of our diverse talent and the Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that have been instrumental in providing support, comfort, and perspective during the past year. In celebration of Global ID&E Week, the ELC Good Works program double-matched select nonprofit partners supported by the Company’s ERGs through the ELC Community Impact Grant . This week-long campaign provided ERGs an opportunity to support a nonprofit of their choice and offered employees the chance to engage and enhance their impact. Read more about our ERGs on page 27. SUPPORTING THE ASIAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY We stand with our employees, consumers, and partner organizations in denouncing the rise in acts of violence and discrimination against the Asian and Pacific Islander community that occurred in fiscal 2021. In response, The Estée Lauder Companies and its brands donated $620,000 to organizations that support racial justice and equity for the Asian community, including Asian Americans for Equality, Stop AAPI Hate, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice—AAJC. The ELC Good Works program also double-matched eligible employee donations made to the above organizations. In addition, leaders within our organization, including members of the Asian Affinity Group (AAG) ERG, championed ways to support our Asian employees and the Asian community, including through internal Town Halls and other events.
