It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, and philanthropic support. L'Oreal forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its corporate funds to support controversial sex and gender ideologies and organizations. L'Oreal is part of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media. However, it has not publicly terminated business relationships based on views or beliefs. Aesop and L'Oreal provides a benefits package for employees which covers travel/lodging costs for an abortion and transgender medical procedures for covered employees and dependents, including children.
