In ongoing support of the fight against coronavirus, L’Oréal UK and Ireland is implementing a series of measures for communities most impacted by the crisis. L’Oréal Group’s wider European ‘solidarity programme’ was announced globally on 18 March. The Group and its family of brands will donate more than half a million hygiene products and hand sanitisers to frontline healthcare workers in UK and Ireland serving the most vulnerable people and striving to curb the pandemic.

  • Support small businesses by freezing the payments of its most vulnerable very small and small-sized customers in its distribution network, including hair salons, until their businesses resume. Additionally, L’Oréal has shortened its payment times for small suppliers who have been most exposed to this economic crisis.
  • Protect pharmacy and food distribution workers. Garnier will give 300,000 free bottles of the new Garnier Pure Active Hand Sanitiser Gel to essential retail staff working at Boots, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Irish retailer Dunnes Stores, helping to protect themselves from COVID-19.

At L’Oréal UK & Ireland we feel a strong sense of responsibility to support relief efforts for the most vulnerable during this unprecedented crisis. The frontline healthcare workers and retail staff are doing an incredible job looking after the sick and providing essential products and services to communities. We feel honoured to be able to provide them with hand sanitisers and key hygiene products. We believe in the beauty of community and are proud to contribute to the needs of our heroic NHS and HSE staff, and those on the retail frontlines across the UK & Ireland.” commented Vismay Sharma, L’Oréal UK and Ireland Country Managing Director.
