L'Oreal Group has launched a European-wide coronavirus solidarity programme that aims to help hospitals, care homes, pharmacies, food distribution programs – basically anyone working on the front line.
The company's various factories — which had already started making hand sanitiser last week — will now ramp up their production to manufacture significant quantities over the next few weeks to support the needs of French and European health authorities.
For healthcare and pharmacy staff, La Roche-Posay will equip all partner hospitals, care homes, and main partner pharmacies in Europe with hand sanitiser, while Garnier will supply and distribute several million units of hand sanitiser free-of-charge to all its European food distribution customers.
