L’Oréal has announced that Alexandra Palt is stepping down from her role as chief corporate responsibility officer, effective April 1, 2024, as she embarks on a new chapter focused on personal endeavors. Ezgi Barcenas will assume the role.
Palt joined L’Oréal Groupe as chief sustainability officer in 2013 and was nominated to the executive committee as chief corporate responsibility officer in 2019.
She will serve until June 30, 2024 as CEO of the Fondation L'Oréal and will then take a seat on the board of the Fondation L’Oréal.
Barcenas joins L’OréalGroupe from AB InBev, where she was chief sustainability officer and served as a member of the senior leadership team.
Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO, L’Oréal Groupe, said, "I would like to thank Alexandra for her engagement, which over the past 12 years has triggered a profound transformation of L’Oréal’s economic and societal model, deeply integrated with planetary boundaries as defined by environmental sciences. Her courage, energy and vision have enabled L’Oréal to become a pioneering enterprise, expert at delivering positive economic and extra-financial performance. The choice of Ezgi Barcenas, a recognized business and climate leader, to succeed Alexandra is a strong sign of L’Oréal’s reiterated commitment to its sustainability transformation and to social responsibility.”
