PEOPLE
Empower our people to be agents of change.
Chloé continues to be an employer that promotes equal opportunities. We want to advance gender equality and inclusion throughout the workplace, while supporting and inspiring individuals.
We aim to foster a workplace where people of every gender, of every ethnicity, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, age or disability – visible or invisible – feel welcomed and valued.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
From the creation of Chloé in 1952, Gaby Aghion worked with women and men to develop their experience and skills in the workplace. Since then, we have continued this approach by recruiting talent from diverse backgrounds, encouraging employment that is inclusive and respectful of diversity. Our Human Resources teams created a Diversity & Inclusion policy, that is distributed to all collaborators worldwide.
This responsibility extends to models working with the House whereby we have defined and put in place clear standards to ensure that they feel protected and valued at Chloé. As one example, Chloé will protect the personal identity of models, avoiding any misrepresentation of their culture, origins or beliefs. This includes skin lightening, hair straightening and removal of braids.
Since January 2022, Chloé is a member of the French Association of Managers for Diversity.
GENDER EQUALITY
The legacy of our founder, Gaby Aghion, and her forward vision of femininity, continues to inspire our long-term commitment to support women’s advancement and rebalance gender-based inequalities. We are proud that women currently make up 71% of top management positions worldwide. Women represent 80% of our global workforce.
At Chloé, every collaborator – of every gender – is an ambassador of our values and commitment towards gender equality and we officialized our commitment by signing the Women Empowerment Principles of the United Nations in January 2021.
TRAINING & PERFORMANCE
We see people as change agents of our transition to a purpose-driven business model. For this reason, we have integrated measurable indicators related to sustainability in performance plans for all collaborators, linked to their respective scopes, since April 2021. For example, the events team has reduction targets on the runway show emissions.
Our Executive Committee members, including our CEO, also have Sustainability-related objectives. To support everyone through this transformation, we regularly organize training for all collaborators worldwide on gender equality and climate change. We ensure that 100% of workers with permanent contracts worldwide, including those in our boutiques, have full access to our training programs that include sessions on topics such as Sustainability, gender equality and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I).
On more specific topics, we also organize technical trainings on lower impact materials and eco-design, and we will be updating this training twice a year.
At the leadership level, we have created a training plan on sustainability for the members of our executive committee.
VOLUNTEERING
To inspire our teams to make a tangible difference and bring the Maison’s purpose to life through their everyday actions, we offer all our employees’ access to 16 hours of volunteering with NGOs aligned with our purpose Women Forward. For a Fairer Future. We work with over 15 NGOs globally that contribute to gender equality, environmental sustainability, and social equality through different services including mentoring, advocacy and fieldwork.
