CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
The Estée Lauder Companies recognizes our responsibility to be contributing members of the
communities in which we live and work. We continually demonstrate this citizenship in many ways and
on many levels: as a Company, through our brands, in our affiliate offices around the world, at our local
facilities, as corporate departments and as individuals.
Our corporate positions on environmental affairs and safety are founded on an ethical bedrock and built
on pragmatic business decisions. The former underlies our decisions and actions; the latter provides
the resources to make our efforts meaningful on a global level. As we see it, our responsibilities to a
sustainable world are twofold:
maintaining our own "house" in a way that reduces negative impact on the environment;
extending our influence as active members of the sustainability movement to people, projects and
causes outside our own Company.

The Estée Lauder Companies realizes that to ensure the long-term success of our Company, our
financial goals need to be integrated with the human and ecological impacts of our business.
The goal of corporate citizenship is to increase both shareholder and community value. The
progress of our environmental and safety programs, coupled with our philanthropic initiatives, helps
to make certain that The Estée Lauder Companies will be able to continue to "Bring the Best to
Everyone We Touch."
