The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. 2009 Annual Report
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT

CONCLUSION
The road to corporate responsibility is both complex and challenging. For more than 60 years we have worked hard to hire the best people, to engage in relationships with only those of the finest reputation and to observe the highest standards of ethics in our business practices. We will continue our tradition of High-Touch through our commitment to the communities in which we live and work. We embrace our responsibility to minimize our impact on the environment so that our planet maintains the potential to support and nurture future generations. We will continue to listen to our stakeholders to create and meet new goals for our environmental and social performance in the years to come.

Our future online report will address the development of specific and reasonable steps that will enable us to more consistently guide and manage our commitments and responsibilities.

We are proud of our tradition of personal and professional accountability and look forward to continuing "Bringing the Best to Everyone We Touch" by building upon our citizenship goals through the talent, creativity and passion of our employees around the world.
