AESOP Corporate

Overview:

Aesop—which has been part of L’Oréal Luxe since 2023—was established in Melbourne in 1987. Since then, we have been formulating products with efficacy foremost in mind—their complex, distinctive aromas are but an incidental treat.

In each of our unique stores and counters, informed consultants help customers select the products that are best suited to their actual needs—collaborating with office-based team members who help cultivate our retail focus.

We offer employees professional development and opportunities for advancement, within our regional and global offices, and retail stores around the world.

Alongside our commercial activities, we explore and support the arts as an avenue through which to inspire, learn, and communicate.

Our quiet sense of nonconformity distinguishes and motivates us as we elevate the experience of living by enriching the senses, self, and surrounds. Day-to-day, our culture expresses itself in ‘micro’ codes (opting for black pens and notebooks, ensuring bottle labels always face forwards, et cetera) that are all based on the following ‘macro’ values:

Respect – We take every opportunity to work together in an environment of mutual trust, candour, and honesty. We believe that the best and most creative ideas are arrived at and accomplished collectively, with personal and cultural differences celebrated and fostered

Creativity – We embrace all creative possibilities and challenges, particularly those that arise in times of change and evolution. We have a strong desire to learn more, aim higher and examine more keenly, with an appreciation of the unusual and interesting.

Excellence – We go beyond what is expected, seeking to have a broader and longer-lasting impact, and producing outcomes of impeccable quality. We are unremitting in the pursuit of excellence; attention to detail and quality permeates every aspect of our working day.

Passion – We apply energy and enthusiasm to all our activities and express passion in our working life. We have the strength to bounce back from setbacks and continue in our enthusiastic pursuit of creative endeavours.

Integrity – We hold fast to an unwavering moral compass predicated on honesty, effort, and quality. Integrity, principles, and ethics matter to us, and resonate within every decision we make.

We dedicate ourselves fervently to humble but significant philanthropic endeavours, and our approach is best described by the adage ‘actions speak louder than words’.

Our people play an integral role in our continued success. We support and encourage our employees’ endeavours to learn and grow; whether working towards the mastery of a specialist skill, building experience that will enable them to apply to an aspirational role, or strengthening their portable life skills.

We take a holistic approach to ensure genuine wellbeing and psychological safety by focusing on supporting professional, physical, financial and emotional wellbeing. All employees around the global also have access to a local wellbeing provider through our employee assistance program.

We are also on a mission to unlock opportunities for people from all backgrounds, and have groups and communities that champion women and allies, LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodiversity, race, ethnicity and culture.
