SUPPLY CHAIN
The Estée Lauder Companies outsources 99 percent of the production and sourcing of its raw materials. We insist that our suppliers comply with all applicable government regulations for the country in which they reside. We also require that suppliers adhere to the provisions specified in our Supplier Code of Conduct.

The Code outlines our expectations for supplier environmental and social performance, including components addressing wages and compensation, human rights, child and forced labor, safe working conditions, anti-discrimination, freedom of association and environmental responsibility. In order to ensure compliance we established a process of auditing our top-line suppliers and are developing protocols for appropriately responding to audit results.
