At the heart of our business model

When you believe in our culture, everything becomes possible.

Innovation is in our bloodstream. We capture trends sooner, thereby creating enduring brands that speak to the aspirations and lifestyles of today's consumers.

Driven by passion, creative freedom, and an entrepreneurial spirit, Coty has built a unique portfolio of beauty brands that have produced some of the strongest consumer franchises in history.

These are the key factors that have created our company’s DNA:

BRAND DRIVEN

At Coty, we are all about the brands. Across all functional areas, employees feel that they contribute to the building of our brand portfolio. Working for the most exciting brands in the industry is what drives us in our roles, every day.

OPEN MINDED

We have the courage to cross frontiers and the confidence to pursue ideas that others might dismiss in the first place. Identifying and reapplying best practices is a strong pillar of our mindset as long as it makes our brands stronger.

ENTREPRENEURIAL

Having the power to influence the success of the company is exciting – and an extraordinary responsibility. Entrepreneurial thinking and acting is an integral part of everything we do, across the organization, across functions and levels, and across the globe. It is our roots and heritage.

INNOVATIVE

Innovation is in our lifeblood. Coty is respected as a highly innovative company – we have even been awarded as the most innovative company in the beauty industry (by the Consumer Goods Technology (CGT) group in 2011). Our teams are brave when it comes to taking risks. And they’re smart when it comes to making brilliant ideas come to life.

COMMITTED TO GROWTH

We are committed to offering the best beauty products and brand experience to our consumers, wherever they are, wherever they shop and enjoy our products. It is on our growth path to expand our presence in emerging markets, in the digital space and in channels such as salons, TV shopping, and much more.

This is how we bring our products to the market:

CRAFTMANSHIP

It is the magic combination of craftsmanship and organizational footprints that enables us to offer masterpieces to our customers and consumers.

GOING AGAINST ALL ODDS

Coty goes for the unexpected. With innovative products and unprecedented concepts, we catch the market and our consumers by surprise.

BREAKING THE CODES

Just because something was not successful in the past or has never been done before does not mean we cannot do it. We are the ones drawing the borders and breaking the boundaries of the beauty industry.

TAKING RISKS

Risks need to be identified and confronted, not eliminated. Every risk holds an opportunity, our mission is to discover the best opportunities possible.

“IT IS POSSIBLE”

This is the Coty attitude, and the way we approach challenges. We prefer thinking about what we can do rather than thinking about what we might not be able to do.
