L’Oréal Group announces new CEO
L’Oréal’s Board of Directors met on October 14 under the chairmanship of Jean-Paul Agon. Following the recommendations of the Appointments and Governance Committee, the Board decided on new governance and a succession plan at the head of the Group.
As the Company's articles of association do not provide for any exception to the legal retirement age of 65 years, Jean-Paul Agon must hand over his duties as Chief Executive Officer before July 2021. In this context, the Board of Directors announced its intention to dissociate the functions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The Board announced its intention to renew Jean-Paul Agon’s mandate as Chairman, a position he has held since 2011, and to appoint Nicolas Hieronimus as Chief Executive Officer.
Nicolas Hieronimus joined L’Oréal 33 years ago and has spent all his career with the Group, in many countries and divisions. He has been Deputy CEO in charge of Divisions since 2017.
These changes will take effect on May 1, 2021 by decision of the Board of Directors at the meeting to be held following the company’s Annual General Meeting on April 20, 2021.

La Prairie announces exciting conservation project
La Prairie is delighted to announce an exciting conservation project - La Prairie, in conjunction with the Fondation Beyeler Gallery in Switzerland, will be conducting the art conservation of four valuable Piet Mondrian works over the next two years.
La Prairie’s tireless pursuit of timeless beauty has inspired the house to support initiatives that strive to preserve and promote culture and science through a singular vision of beauty – through the prism of Switzerland.
With this in mind, the House of La Prairie has articulated a deliberate, meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility strategy honouring three areas of focus: Swissness, Science and Art and Culture, that, combined, speak to the house’s commitment to giving back – purposeful, relevant gestures of support and patronage, from Switzerland to the world.
“As a Swiss house, we are particularly proud to support one of Switzerland’s most prestigious cultural institutions. With Fondation Beyeler, we have common values and the purpose to share art from Switzerland to the world. Bringing La Prairie’s support to a project dedicated to preserving iconic works of art from the passing of time gives even more meaning to this collaboration,” said Greg Prodromides, Chief Marketing Officer of La Prairie.
Elaborating on the partnership, Ulrike Erbslöh, Managing Director at Fondation Beyeler said: “Our partnership with La Prairie is a catalyst for innovation, triggering an exciting opportunity for a creative dialogue. Through this patronage, La Prairie and Fondation Beyeler have joined forces for the Piet Mondrian Conservation Project with the aim of highlighting the importance of art conservation. Delivering the highest quality is part of the DNA of Fondation Beyeler. We always aim for perfection. And so does La Prairie.”
