At the very heart of what makes our company so special is our incredibly talented people and our unique culture. We started off as a family company and this is still as true today as it was in 1946. Our family values recognise that our people are at the forefront of our thinking and most important asset. We actively encourage our people to follow their dreams, act on their innovative ideas and to strive to be the best that they can be.
“I believe that potential is unlimited – success depends on daring to act on dreams” - Mrs Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder Companies has now been in existence for over six decades, during that time we have continued to rise above our competitors. We believe the reason for this is that we have continued to maintain our high ethical standards and have continued to build collaborative and respectful relationships. On a global scale, Estée Lauder Companies has made strong commitments to sustainability, community involvement and charitable efforts. This stems from our family values that encourage employees to treat others how you wish to be treated.
Change is inevitable, however we hold true and maintain our heritage and unique culture. Whilst we improve our systems, processes and efficiencies there are some things that must remain the same. We have ability to hold on to what makes us great and to improve in areas that need development. Our High Touch philosophy is ultimately an experience, which means that no matter where a person sits within our company, we connect with each other in an intensely personal way exceeding needs and expectations.
