This week, I offer a fly-on-the-wall look at what diversity and inclusion mean at Ulta Beauty.
Following George Floyd’s death and the onslaught of Black Lives Matter protests that followed, many companies pledged their commitments to diversity and inclusion efforts. Donations were made and Instagram posts were shared, but many of those exercises did not reflect on internal companies’ cultures. That changed in the beauty industry when Sharon Chuter’s Pull Up For Change lit a fire under brands across the board.
However, since last summer, not much has been publicly shared by brands about their diversity and inclusion efforts. That includes the progress being driven by the various boards that were created, like Shiseido’s Diversity and Inclusion Group or L’Oréal’s Global Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Board. Ulta Beauty, meanwhile, is a different story.
