At Sephora, we champion all beauty fearlessly and are committed to building inclusive environments for our employees, clients, and the communities we serve. Our DE&I Heart Journey embodies our longstanding commitment to creating a world of inspiration and inclusion where everyone can celebrate their unique beauty. Being transparent and sharing our progress in this effort is a reflection of our foundational beliefs and will hopefully impact the beauty community at large.

Over the years, we’ve embedded inclusion across our business to foster inclusive experiences and environments. To sustain and accelerate this progress, we’ve streamlined our DE&I strategy. This report reflects that journey—highlighting major milestones such as tripling the number of Black-owned brands on our shelves, increasing our spend with underrepresented suppliers by more than 8%, and bringing together 86 major retailers through the Mitigate Racial Bias in Retail Charter, co-created with the nonprofit Open to All. Our evolved DE&I framework, built around six key initiatives, was created to work towards inclusive growth across our business, as well as the broader industry.

We invite you to explore our latest progress in our 2025 Annual DE&I Heart Journey Report, which provides a deeper look into our initiatives and their impact. Our work to create the world’s most welcoming and inclusive beauty community is an ongoing effort—and I’m excited about what we’ve accomplished together so far. As we look ahead, we remain energized by our ambition to improve our standing as an employer, retailer, and partner of choice even further.

Warmly,

George-Axelle Broussillon Matschinga
Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Sephora
