L’Oréal accused of racial discrimination in an 'all-white' campaign
The French cosmetics giant L’Oréal was accused of racial discrimination yesterday as the Paris Appeal Court heard claims that executives had sought an all-white team of hostesses to promote its shampoos.
L’Oréal, the French cosmetics giant…was found guilty of racial discrimination for considering black, Arab and Asian women unworthy of selling its shampoo...The court ruled that Adecco, the temporary recruitment agency whose Districom division hired the hostesses, was also guilty of racial discrimination.
The Paris Appeal Court had fined both L’Oréal and Adecco €30,000 (£25,500) and ordered them to pay a further €30,000 each in damages to SOS Racisme, the anti-racist campaign group, which brought the case…L’Oréal expressed “disappointment” at the judgment, which ends three years of legal wrangling over the discrimination claims.
