At Sephora, we champion a world of inspiration and inclusion where everyone can celebrate their beauty. This purpose fuels our commitment to building inclusive workplaces and shopping experiences for all of the communities we serve. Over the years, our DE&I Heart Journey has strengthened this commitment and our ambition to make Sephora a more welcoming and inclusive place, while helping shape a more inclusive future for our broader industry. 

Over the years, we’ve embedded inclusion across our business to foster inclusive and accessible experiences for all. Our DE&I Heart Journey strategy is guided by six initiatives supported by six DE&I Committees, helping us sustain progress and deepen our impact. This report reflects our collective achievements, including launching our first expertise-driven Inclusive Beauty Council, tripling the number of Black-owned brands in our assortment, increasing spend with underrepresented suppliers to over 10%, and continuing to engage 90 major retail signatories through the Mitigate Racial Bias in Retail & Customer Service Charter and Collaboration co-created with Open to All. 

We invite you to explore our latest progress in our 2026 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. Looking ahead, and in the context of emerging technologies, we will continue to drive meaningful change and sustainable impact by leading with inclusion.

Warmly,

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