L’Oréal Caribe celebrates 45th anniversary with ‘45 Women that Move the Caribbean’ photo exhibition
L’ORÉAL Groupe, the world’s leading beauty company based in France, is proud to announce the 45th anniversary celebration of its subsidiary in the region, L’Oréal Caribe. For just over four decades, L’Oréal Caribe has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the beauty and personal care industry in the region, standing out as a benchmark for quality and innovation. As part of this celebration, L’Oréal Caribe unveiled the photo exhibition 45 Women that Move the Caribbean, which recognises and honors the careers of emblematic Caribbean women, who have distinguished themselves in the categories of art and culture, sports, diversity and inclusion, entrepreneurship, innovation and technology, communications, social responsibility, sustainability and education.
“We developed this special initiative that recognises women in the region that we serve, who are an inspiration to others. This project recognises the achievements of Caribbean women who have accelerated female empowerment. What better way to celebrate our journey than by paying tribute to these inspiring women. Through their accomplishments and dedication, they reflect the values of innovation, passion and excellence that we have promoted for 45 years,” said Gilles Delaunay, general manager of L’Oréal Caribe.
45 Women that Move the Caribbean is an initiative that not only celebrates L’Oréal Groupe’s legacy and influence in the region, but also underscores the company’s commitment to equality and inclusion. This project honours women whose work and devotion have had a significant impact in their respective areas and countries. They were nominated by industry members and selected by a diverse panel of judges,
As part of the celebration these women’s trajectories, an exhibition is being held July 11-25 at The Mall of San Juan and will continue at San Patricio Plaza from July 27 to August 26. The objective of this exhibition is to create a space for interaction and inspiration, where the public can delve into the success stories of each of these women and see the impact they have had in their communities and within various professional fields.

Over the years, the company has established a strong presence in the 25 islands served within the region, earning the loyalty of millions of consumers.
“Forty-five years of celebration in the Caribbean is a reflection of the leadership and responsibility of our team. At L’Oréal Caribe, the key to our success has been to have people who are committed to emulating the company’s values, promoting diversity, inclusion, female empowerment, the well-being of our local communities and reaffirming their commitment to sustainability,” concluded Delaunay.
