The Estée Lauder Companies’ Commitment to Those Impacted by the Invasion of Ukraine
Company Feature, 4 Mar 2022
The Estée Lauder Companies is committed to supporting those impacted by the invasion of Ukraine, and our employees, their families, and the Ukrainian people. Our company’s priority is the safety and well-being of all ELC employees, and we are continuously monitoring the situation and evaluating all possible measures to support them.
As a company, ELC stands with those who are currently suffering due to the invasion. The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation (ELCCF) commits $1 million in support of relief efforts to women, children, and families. ELCCF donations will support organizations already active in Ukraine and in neighboring countries, including:
- Save the Children: Providing children and families in Ukraine with immediate aid —such as food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, and cash assistance. Save the Children is a longtime philanthropic partner for large scale disaster response.
- USA for UNHCR (the United Nations High Commission for Refugees): UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is on the ground in Ukraine providing lifesaving aid to those forced to flee and working with neighboring countries to ensure their protection.
- The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC): Delivering urgent humanitarian assistance in Ukraine— to repair vital infrastructure, support health facilities with medicines and equipment, and support families with food and hygiene items.
In the coming weeks, we will also be donating ELC products to those displaced and those in need.
The global ELC community is united in its efforts to support all our employees in Ukraine and in Russia. We will continue to monitor this evolving situation and will adapt our resources and actions as this unfolds.
