Raising awareness about pollution in China

In China, air pollution is one of the main enemies of beauty. As a market leader that can draw on ten years of research into this issue, L’Oréal must do its part to preempt this social issue and put its scientific findings at the service of its stakeholders. In 2015, after demonstrating the company’s credibility on this issue in the eyes of experts, the group set up a media campaign for the general public, to raise Chinese people’s awareness of the impact of pollution on skin. The project was a success, with some 300 reports in the media, both on- and offline.
