Coty is dedicated to creating a more inclusive business and society. We are helping to build a beauty industry that respects and protects human rights across the value chain.

EQUAL TREATMENT & OPPORTUNITIES

At Coty, we believe beauty should bring joy to the people and communities we touch. This starts with our people. We work to create an environment where our teams feel supported, included, and inspired to grow. 
We seek to broaden our access to talent through local initiatives and partnerships. Through Coty Academy, we offer training that supports awareness of professional conduct, workplace behavior, and non-discrimination. Globally, we support inclusive development and equal access to opportunity.

SPOTLIGHT ON:

GENDER EQUALITY

Women make up a significant proportion of our workforce and consumer base, and we believe their perspectives should be reflected in leadership. Today, women represent 56% of our leadership population (Senior Director and above), while maintaining strong representation across both our Board and Executive Committee. Our benefits include a global gender-neutral parental leave policy, which provides all eligible employees with the same parental leave entitlement available in their local market, with a minimum of 14 weeks of fully paid leave. We also regularly assess pay equity for employees in comparable roles and performance categories.

Training and development

We recognize that our future success depends on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain our employees. We build knowledge and skills through training and mentoring, while stretching and supporting our people in each of their roles. We conduct annual performance reviews and maintain a dedicated learning platform, the Coty Academy, which includes educational content on strategic business priorities and essential skills.

HUMAN RIGHTS IN OUR VALUE CHAIN

Our products are made possible by a global network of suppliers, producers, and communities around the world. Through our responsible sourcing and due diligence processes, we work to identify and address human rights risks across our value chain, with a particular focus on higher-risk supply chains such as palm oil, fragrance naturals, and mica. This approach helps strengthen transparency, accountability, and respect for human rights throughout our supply chain.  

As a founding member of the Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI), we support efforts to improve workplace standards, legal frameworks, strengthen traceability, and empower local communities, with a focus on India. For fragrance naturals, we partner with Fair Labor Association's Harvesting the Future - Fragrances program, working alongside suppliers and industry partners in developing and implementing action plans for the highest priority naturals.

Our Partner

For over 30 years, Coty has supported DKMS, an international non-profit organization dedicated to fighting blood cancer and blood disorders, as a corporate founding partner. We raise funds annually to support the cause and encourage our community to join the global donor registry.

 

 

Responsible marketing

Our products and brands are powerful agents of change, challenging beauty stereotypes while promoting individuality and self-expression.

We strive to ensure our marketing is inclusive, respectful, and responsible, creating authentic connections with the communities we serve. As new technologies continue to transform the communications landscape, we are also committed to using artificial intelligence responsibly.

Product safety

We aim to create safe, high-quality products that meet the latest scientific and regulatory standards. Guided by rigorous safety and quality assessments, we carefully evaluate the ingredients we use and continuously review emerging science to help ensure our products deliver the performance, efficacy, and experience consumers expect.  

OUR INGREDIENTS

We are committed to increased ingredient transparency. We recognize that consumers want to know more about what is in their products, while also having the freedom to make product choices based on their ingredients. Find out more what’s in the products you love on the Our Ingredients resource.

ANIMAL WELFARE

We do not test our products on animals and we are committed to ending animal testing across the beauty industry. For more than 25 years, Coty has been developing methods that provide a clear alternative to animal testing. For more, see our Coty Against Animal Testing policy.
