Good corporate citizenship is one of the challenges L’Oréal must meet. The 2009 economic downturn bolstered our conviction that we are on the right track as we open a new chapter in our history, that of the univer-salization of beauty. All of our Foundation’s choices, from promoting science to fostering research, disseminating knowledge about beauty, restoring appearances, the first step toward establishing social relations, or carrying out actions that encourage prevention and integration, reflect one goal: to give meaning to the profession of beauty, while illustrating L’Oréal’s values of generosity and social responsibility. In 2010, our worldwide programs expanded at a brisk pace. The L’Oréal-UNESCO “For Women in Science” program awarded its first regional pan-Arab and pan-African regional fellowships, boosting support and recognition for women scientists in regions where they are under-represented and critically needed to ensure the continent’s development. The partnership with Doctors of the World has made it possible to recruit new volunteer surgeons from Germany and Japan and to increase the number of patients in the “Opération Sourire” reconstructive surgery program. On another front, that of HIV education and prevention, the “Hairdressers Against AIDS” program set up in partnership with UNESCO has been implemented in four new countries, including the United States, which means 500,000 more hairdressers will be potentially mobilized. These significant strides show the continued commitment of employees and partners worldwide, eager to back projects useful to communities, consistent with our activities and meeting real social needs. I want to salute their involvement and encourage them to enthusiastically continue the mission we have given ourselves: … to help make the world a more beautiful place." Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones Chairman of L’Oréal Chairman of the L’Oréal Corporate Foundation LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:46 Page6 ORGANIZATION OF THE FOUNDATION IN 2010 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE COMMITTEES L’Oréal Chairman, Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, also chairs the Foundation’s Board of Directors, which on December 31, 2010 had nine members: six from L’Oréal and three from outside the company qualified in the Foundation's areas of intervention. Its role is to set the main directions of the Foundation's policy, approve the budget and assess the initiatives carried out. The board met twice in 2010: on May 27 and November 18. Three Pre-selection and Strategic Orientation Committees examine the project proposals the Foundation receives. They select the projects before presenting them to the Board of Directors, the validating body. The committees, made up of L’Oréal staff and outside experts, meet twice a year. The selection guidelines are feasibility, originality and consistency with the Foundation's objectives. The committees also work on developing and implementing the Foundation's major programs worldwide. THE PERMANENT STAFF The permanent staff includes the Foundation Committee and a dedicated team. Its role consists of designing and managing the programs, developing partnerships and preparing the strategic recommendations to be proposed to the Board of Directors.

Helping restore the dignity and self-confidence of the most vulnerable members of society. Making education more accessible. SCIENCE Since the creation of L’Oréal by a scientist over a century ago, the Group has never stopped believing in research as a driving force of innovation and progress to push the limits of science and knowledge. It has been involved in promoting scientific research, the basic sciences and human sciences, increasing the role of women in science, fostering the recognition of excellence, encouraging young people to become scientists, and investing in new areas of research. SOLIDARITY The care people take in their appearance is at the heart of the Group’s activities. Giving everyone access to beauty is a real commitment for L’Oréal, whose solidarity programs aim to help people made to feel vulnerable by the alteration of their appearance to feel self-confident again and reintegrate into society. EDUCATION Béatrice DAUTRESME L’Oréal Executive Vice-President, Corporate Communications and External Affairs, Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation Transmission of knowledge, training and diversity have always been part of the L’Oréal model. Educating people and raising their awareness of this century’s great causes, such as the fight against AIDS, and facilitating disadvantaged people’s access to knowledge, are the Foundation’s third commitment. The Foundation is developing major global programs, rolled out through every L’Oréal subsidiary, as well as “pilot” projects in France. It is intent on setting up real partnerships that go beyond financial support and on evaluating the results of its actions. 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 9 LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:47 Page10 Committed Science By showcasing women's role in science, our partnership also reiterates the importance of scientific research as a driving force of progress. I am convinced that science must be at the service of humanity to help us meet the many urgent challenges we must face. IRINA BOKOVA Director General of UNESCO I embrace the message from L’Oréal and UNESCO that the world needs science and science needs women. We are a community of scientists and citizens from all parts of the world. It is our collective, diverse creativity and humanity - half of which is made up of women - that makes the world so wondrous and wonderful. ELIZABETH BLACKBURN 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine and 2008 Laureate, L’Oréal-UNESCO Award “For Women in Science” The recognition that goes with the L’Oréal-UNESCO Award is extremely important, in particular for women from developing countries, who do not necessarily benefit from the same support and laboratory working conditions. GÜNTER BLOBEL 1999 Nobel Prize in Medicine, Chairman of the L’Oréal-UNESCO Award Jury I think a career in science and exploration is a road paved with happiness every step of the way… Many women have had wonderful high-level careers, but their talent, skill and expertise are insufficiently recognized. 12 TH L’ORÉAL-UNESCO AWARDS CEREMONY CLAUDIE HAIGNERÉ President, Universcience The occasion The challenges of health, human psychology and wellness in an often troubled world require promoting social science research, breaking down the barriers between different forms of knowledge, educating and raising the awareness of as many people as possible of the ontological issues posed by our bodies, our appearance and the ages of life. The 2010 “For Women in Science” Week The 12th “For Women in Science” week opened in Paris on March 1, 2010. As the Award’s renown grows from one year to the next, L’Oréal and UNESCO continue to recognize outstanding women scientists from all parts of the world. These committed, courageous women are united by one passion, and their research is helping to change the world. The event gave these scientists - Award Laureates and International Fellowship recipients — a unique opportunity to meet each other, exchange views and attest to their commitment before a wide audience. Ties were forged and collaborative projects took shape. The sense of belonging to a community of women scientists bent on ensuring a brighter outlook for humanity was strengthened. The women presented their research at the French Academy of Sciences and the Pasteur Institute before receiving their Awards and Fellowships at UNESCO headquarters. AXEL KAHN President, Paris Descartes University The art of being and appearing is an issue as old as humanity but has modern-day implications for our societies. That is why it is important to encourage and support social and human science researchers who deepen knowledge in all its dimensions.

The Foundation’s commitment alongside UNESCO is all the more important because of the world’s apparent state of emergency today. The 2010 L’Oréal-UNESCO Award Laureates are a perfect illustration of the involvement of women scientists at the heart of every leading issue, from the environment to malnutrition, epidemics and natural disasters. 4 Five women, five battles, five major challenges THE WINNERS OF THE 2010 L’ORÉAL-UNESCO AWARD “FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE“ The 12th annual Awards honored five researchers in the life sciences. Candidates were nominated by a network of over 1,000 scientists. Professor Günter Blobel, 1999 Nobel Prize in Medicine, presided the international jury of eminent scientists.

March-April 2010 S ince 2008 the Foundation has supported the Palais de la découverte, a landmark insitution that brings science to life in the heart of Paris by welcoming over 600,000 visitors each year. The Palais de la découverte offers scientific content and teaching programs recognized by the scientific and educational communities, builds close ties with research institutions and makes science accessible to as many people as possible. Associated with the “A researcher, an experiment” workshops, this year the Foundation proposed an event dedicated to eyelashes and hair. Researchers from L’Oréal revealed techniques for studying them: observation under I n April 2010, the L’Oréal Foundation and Aéroports de Paris held science workshops with eight eleventh-grade science classes (200 students) and their teachers in Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 2E. A team from the Palais de la découverte raised their awareness of the scientific approach and L’Oréal Research teams led two workshops: “Green Chemistry at the Service of the Environment” and “Exploring Skin” ■ 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 20 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation different types of microscope, use of diagnostic tools to paint the “portrait” of a hair (thickness, color, density, etc.), explanation of hair growth and loss processes and so on.

The activity is a concrete way to share the expertise of L’Oréal Research, directly involve researchers wanting to share their passion and raise the general public’s awareness of science professions ■ To find out more: www.palais-decouverte.fr; www.universcience.fr 21 LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:48 Page22 SCIENCE "THE FACE IN ALL ITS STATES" Exhibit organized with Paris Descartes University THE MEANING OF BEAUTY Contributing to a better understanding of the role of appearance and the meaning of beauty. T he goal of this human sciences research program is to deepen knowledge about the meaning and role of appearance in society and to make this information accessible to as many people as possible. It led to the 2009 publication of 100,000 Years of Beauty, a multidisciplinary reference work written by 300 researchers from 35 countries that explores the human quest for beauty. In 2010, the Foundation used its resources to make that knowledge available to the general public through courses, events, lectures and symposia. Public exhibit and debates about the meaning of beauty with Paris Descartes University The Foundation co-organized “The Face in All its States,” a free exhibition and lecture series, with Paris Descartes University and the University of Health and Human Sciences. It offered an artistic and scientific view of the mysteries of the face, an essential component of appearance and the first vector of communication, by featuring over 150 original pieces, some of which had never been on display before, from the Primitive Arts to contemporary works, along with excerpts from 100,000 Years of Beauty. Over 7,000 people saw the exhibit; several hundred attended lectures on topics such as facial jewelry and ornaments, the face's many languages, and the ethical issue of transplants, with the participation of major experts, such as Axel Kahn, JeanClaude Ameisen, Professor Devauchelle and contributors to 100,000 Years of Beauty. 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 23 LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:48 Page24 PREHISTORY - FOUNDATIONS ANTIQUITY - CIVILIZATIONS CLASSICAL AGE - CONFRONTATIONS MODERNITY - GLOBALIZATION FUTURE - PROJECTIONS 100,000 YEARS OF BEAUTY AIMEE MULLINS Gallimard 2009 Anthropology of Beauty course at Science Po. The Foundation has created a series of pilot courses on the Anthropology of Beauty, a rare topic in universities, even though it is intertwined with the evolution and understanding of societies. Elisabeth Azoulay, the editor of 100,000 Years of Beauty, and the book’s authors, teach Master’s students three-month courses on themes developed and organized around specific periods of history. Topics include the earliest clues of the human quest for beauty in Prehistory, with paleontologist Denis Vialou; new forms of corporal beauty in the future, with the artist Orlan; and the use of perfume in ancient Egypt explained by specialist Annick le Guérer. The courses will be followed by video adaptations of 100,000 Years of Beauty, which will be available to a broader student audience. 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation AIMEE MULLINS FROM DISABLED TO SUPER-ABLED Human Sciences Fellowships with the National Library of France encourage young specialists studying human appearance. Actress, athlete, model and double leg amputee. A L’Oréal Foundation guest, Aimée Mullins represents another vision of beauty. (Women’s Forum October 2010) The L’Oréal Foundation supports young researchers in the human sciences whose work deepens knowledge about beauty and draws on the collections of the National Library of France, through fellowships on the art of being and appearing. This year EHESS researcher Irène Salas was honored for her work The Construction of Appearing during the Renaissance, Face Whitening Techniques in the Modern Period and the Discovery of Skin in the 16th Century. Historian Antoine Roullet received the second Fellowship for Nuns and Beauty: the Construction of a Forced Appearance. The Foundation, a partner of the Women’s Forum, organized an encounter on the theme “Reinvent Yourself ” with guest of honor Aimée Mullins, a model and actress who had both legs amputated below the knee in childhood due to a birth defect. Her exceptional strength of character and determination have enabled her to turn her own experience into an example of how to live life to the full. These young researchers show the extent to which beauty is particularly fertile ground for research in the human sciences. The Fellowships enable them to focus on research, participate in symposia or travel to pursue their work. “You can be the architect of your own continuously renewed and reinvented identity,” she said. Ms. Mullins told her incredible story to the Women's Forum audience, making people question their vision of beauty ■ 24 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 25 LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:48 Page26 Committed Solidarity Facial malformation affects children’s image of themselves and has very serious social consequences for them. It is therefore important, if not fundamental, to restore their aesthetic appearance. DR. FRANÇOIS FOUSSADIER Surgeon, member of Doctors of the World, founder of “Opération Sourire“ Adolescents’ relationship to their bodies at this crucial stage of their lives is key to the construction of their self-image. By caring for the body, socio-aesthetics is a therapeutic discipline that aims to restore and enhance a positive self-image. PR. MAURICE CORCOS Professor of psychiatry at Paris Descartes University, head of the Montsouris Mutualist Institute's Adolescent Psychiatry Department Giving millions of destitute people in France (eight million live below the poverty line) a bar of soap, an article of clothing, a blanket, a notebook or a coffeemaker restores much of their dignity and a little of their hope and well-being. JACQUES-ETIENNE DE T'SERCLAES President-Founder of the Agence du don en nature - Eurogiki Rehabilitating women who have fallen on hard times includes taking care of their bodies, giving them medical care and improving their health. The weekly socio-aesthetics workshops make them feel as though their bodies and their image belong to them again, and to feel better at last! ALISÉ TOMBO, OPERATED ON DURING THE MISSION IN MADAGASCAR The occasion STEFANIA PARIGI Director-General of Samusocial de Paris, regarding The Women's Shelter I wanted to put the skills of my wonderful profession to work for people in distress. I turned my job of beautician into that of socio-aesthetician, thanks to which cosmetics become a veritable tool for social reintegration. Doctors of the World “Opération Sourire“ in Madagascar from November 12 to19, 2010 LAURENCE MANZANO Socio-aesthetician Surgeons operated on burn victims and cleft-palate patients at the Antsiranana Medical Center. On the first day, many patients who had heard about the operation through word of mouth and print and radio ads, were already waiting to be examined. Félicien, 17, and his mom Joamikiaka, 38, both with bilateral cleft palates, walked 60km to the hospital, where doctors had to make rapid decisions on whether or not to operate on them, as well as on Efez, Fahedy, Zara, Tafitasoa, Abdoul, Justine, Noeline, Raosiliny and other patients, that week, or wait until a later mission. The doctors examined 60 patients - 19 adults and 41 children - and performed 34 operations during the mission. Eight children who could not be operated on because they were too weak for anesthesia were told to come back next year. Since I’m convinced it’s essential for women to take care of themselves, especially if they’re suffering from the side effects of cancer treatment, I naturally joined the La Vie, de plus belle... organization. As the workshops advance, you see women reconcile themselves with their image. If I had cancer I’d also want people to take care of me in another way than just medically.

DR. FOUSSADIER T he goal of “Opération Sourire”, Doctors of the World’s reconstructive surgery program, is to give faces back to those disfigured by war, illness and malnutrition. In addition to physical reparation, the operation helps restore dignity, an identity and a social life to people shunned because of their physical appearance. For the third consecutive year the L’Oréal Foundation is supporting Doctors of the World missions in Africa and Asia, enabling the organization to perform operations on over 1,500 patients. In addition to the operations themselves, the program trains local surgeons to give children postsurgical care. “The L'Oréal Foundation's support 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 30 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation has breathed new life into the program,” says volunteer surgeon and “Opération Sourire“ Founder Dr. François Foussadier. “We have the backing of people who believe in what we do, who want to help and who play a key role in the development of our missions. The contribution is not just financial, but also psychological and moral.” New German and Japanese surgeons have been recruited to increase the number of missions. Support in 2010 enabled the Japanese team to carry out a mission in Bangladesh led by Dr. Satoshi Yoza.

BEAUTY FROM THE HEART Because appearance and self-esteem are closely related. I llness, unemployment and precarity can lead to exclusion and cut people off from society. The L’Oréal Foundation believes that re-appropriating one’s appearance and working on one’s image help restore self-confidence and a place in society. That is why it set up “Beauty from the Heart,” a program of socio-aesthetics workshops and product donations. Socio-aesthetics workshops: a moment for oneself, a different kind of caring. In 2010, professional socio-aestheticians led nearly 150 workshops in seven organizations that help people struck by illness and misfortune. Their attentive, gentle, makeup and beauty care gestures helped restore the participants' confidence and positive self-image. 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation Job seekers Hospitalized teens The series of “Take Care of Yourself” socio-aesthetics workshops has become an essential part of the job search for 63 unemployed people receiving help from the Maison de l’Emploi et du Développement Economique de la ville de Clichy. The Foundation is continuing its commitment to la Maison de Solenn, offering approximately 100 hospitalized teens weekly makeup workshops with socioaestheticians (48 in 2010) in addition to their medical care. It has also forged two new partnerships with the Montsouris Mutualist Institute’s adolescent psychiatry department and the Foundation Lenval in Nice aiming to improve teens’ relationships with their bodies. People living in precarity In 2010, the 14 residents of Samusocial de Paris women’s shelter in Montrouge and 33 women housed at the Emmaüs Laumière Center received beauty assistance and advice with support from the L’Oréal Foundation. A study assessing the impact of socio-aesthetics on people trying to find jobs and get back into mainstream society, conducted in partnership with CODES (Aesthetics training with a humanitarian and social option), is likely to reveal interesting findings in 2011. Women with cancer In association with nine L’Oréal Group brands, the Foundation supports “La Vie, de plus belle,” an organization in the international “Look Good, Feel Better” network, which the cosmetics industry set up in 2001 to provide skin care and makeup workshops to women with cancer. In 2010, a total of 1,822 women in 21 hospitals in France took part in 222 workshops. 35 LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:53 Page36 SOCIO-AESTHETICS WORKSHOP MAKEUP SESSION at the Emmaüs Laumière Stabilization Center for Women with a hospitalized cancer patient BENEFITING FROM OTHERS’ ATTENTION, TAKING CARE OF ONESELF AND IMPROVING ONE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ONESELF AND OTHERS. Product donations: maintaining one’s dignity. Donating products helps people in difficult situations take care of themselves and improve their everyday lives, because hygiene is indispensable to bringing them back into mainstream society. In 2010, the L’Oréal Foundation and the Group’s brands distributed over 530,000 products to groups such as the Agence du don en nature - Eurogiki, Restaurants du Cœur and Samusocial de Paris ■ 2010 in figures 530,000 PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTED BEAUTY FROM THE HEART KITS BY THE L’ORÉAL FOUNDATION AND THE GROUP’S BRANDS 44,300 147 “BEAUTY FROM THE HEART” KITS SOCIO-AESTHETICS WORKSHOPS and products given to organizations that help disadvantaged people 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 36 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation 37 LOREAL RA2010 Fondation uk_Mise en page 1 14/06/11 15:53 Page38 Committed Education I’d like to put across a simple message: mobilize, because your words matter in the fight against AIDS.

TIMES SQUARE, New York City, December 1, 2010 JEANNETTE BOUGRAB Junior Minister with responsibility for youth and associative life The occasion I've been a tutor for four years. It's a great human and teaching experience. I tutor various kinds of students, from junior high to high school and college prep: I have to adjust my methods depending on the individual. It's a real challenge because you have to see the difficulties through their eyes. I think that's how you understand their problems. Tutoring helps because we provide assistance but also a friendly service. We are close to students in age and provide one-on-one contact, which in my view, are two important factors that make tutoring successful. Launch of the "Hairdressers Against AIDS" program in the USA Unprecedented mobilization actions have taken place in the United States. For example, 500 hairdressers attended a training session at the United Nations headquarters. On December 1, they were in the streets of New York, generating one million contacts with city residents. The highlight was the huge electronic billboards in Times Square showing the visuals and new communication slogan: "Use Your Voice, Use Your Power for a Beautiful World without AIDS."

This unique program is based on the special status of hairdressers, who form a large community with close relationships with their customers, which can make them effective in relaying information on HIV/AIDS prevention. "Hairdressers Against AIDS" is based on L'Oréal's educational culture and the Professional Products Division's network of educators, who teach specific courses 2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation on HIV/AIDS risks and prevention during professional training programs.

Nearly 4,000 students have benefited from the program so far. Tutoring junior high and high school students at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie The L’Oréal Foundation has been involved in the project from the outset by: • upgrading and equipping sites to make them accessible to people with disabilities; • carrying out a support and awareness-raising campaign allowing students to declare their disability when they apply to Sciences Po and helping them by adapting their examination conditions, for example; • setting up the International Mobility Fund (scholarships to study abroad). Seven students received the scholarship during the 2009/2010 school year. Ten went abroad in September 2010. The program is gradually focusing on students with increasingly severe disabilities ■ For the fourth consecutive year the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie, in partnership with the Association de Prévention du Site de la Villette (APSV), has run a tutoring program with support from the L’Oréal Foundation. The program's goal is to promote equal access to scientific knowledge. It supports young students from working-class neighborhoods in science subjects, often the reason for their failure in school. Students from French university-level grandes écoles, who are enthusiastic about the and have Sciences Po Accessible The goal of the "Sciences Po Accessible" program, which was set up in 2008, is to give disabled students the tools they need to graduate.
