Clarins Group strengthens commitment to disability inclusion through ILO partnership

About the ILO 

The International Labour Organization (ILO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, was founded in 1919 to promote social justice and establish fair labor standards worldwide. As the world’s first and largest tripartite organization, the ILO unites governments, employers, and workers from 187 member countries to create equitable and sustainable work environments. 

A key initiative of the ILO is the Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN), which helps businesses exchange insights and improve workplace policies for disability inclusion. It supports companies in creating strategies that enable individuals with disabilities to access employment, thrive in their roles, and advance in their careers—fostering a culture of inclusivity and equality. 

Clarins’ commitment to the Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN) 

As part of our ongoing efforts to champion workplace diversity, Clarins has signed the ILO Global Business and Disability Network Charter. This international commitment ensures that we integrate disability inclusion into our business strategy and create equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities. 

The ten principles of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network Charter 

Aligned with our Ability Policy, the ILO GBDN Charter outlines ten key principles essential to fostering an inclusive work environment. These principles emphasize: 

• Promoting equal opportunities 

• Eliminating discrimination 

• Improving accessibility 

• Protecting confidentiality 

• Supporting employees with disabilities 

• Fostering collaboration 

By embedding these values into our corporate culture, we reaffirm our dedication to building a diverse and equitable workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. 

A collective effort 

This achievement is the result of the dedication and hard work of our teams, partners, and advocates who are committed to making Clarins a more inclusive workplace. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone involved in this initiative, as we continue to cultivate an environment where every individual feels valued and empowered. 

Looking ahead 

At the same time as joining the ILO GBDN, we proudly introduced to our teams worldwide our global Ability Policy—a company-wide framework designed to promote equal opportunities, prevent discrimination, and support employees with disabilities. This policy provides clear guidelines for accessibility, reasonable accommodations, and inclusion initiatives, ensuring that every Clarins employee can thrive. 

By launching this policy alongside our ILO commitment, we reaffirm our dedication to creating a workplace where talent and ability define success.
