Press Release

NEW YORK, New York, January 29, 2025 - On Wednesday, January 22, Estée Lauder sponsored the Century Summit V, hosted at Stanford University in collaboration with the Stanford Center on Longevity. 

The Century Summit is a hybrid virtual and in-person event that brings together top leaders in business, media, policy and research to discuss the implications of the 100-year life. Convened in collaboration with The Longevity Project, the Century Summit offers leaders an opportunity to present new visions on how society can restructure work, reorganize our cities, enhance lifelong learning, create new financial security and promote greater health and vitality in the new age of longevity. 

In a panel discussion entitled, "Comfortable in Our Own Skin: Can the Beauty Industry Lead the Way?”, Carolyn Murphy, longtime Estée Lauder Global Brand Ambassador; Tara Connaughton, Vice President, Global Communications at Estée Lauder and Michael Clinton, Founder and CEO of ROAR Forward, explored how the beauty industry is responding to the New Longevity, and how the narrative around aging and aesthetics is changing.  

“When I was signed to Estée Lauder, I was 28 and it was almost deemed too old for a beauty contract. The fact that Estée Lauder has stood by me for more than 20 years shows how they are really leading this shift towards celebrating women at any age,” said Carolyn Murphy. 

“Longevity is a multi-generational conversation,” said Tara Connaughton. “At Estée Lauder, we are showing that skin longevity goes beyond anti-aging to pro-aging, educating and empowering consumers to look and feel their best at any age.” 

Building on the brand’s commitment to furthering longevity research, Estée Lauder is a key supporter of the Stanford Center on Longevity, a cross-disciplinary research center at Stanford University.  

As the inaugural supporter of the Stanford Center on Longevity’s new Program on Aesthetics & Culture, Estée Lauder is committed to help fund a wide range of research activities, including New Map of Life post-doctoral fellowships and other work to advance the understanding of perceptions on longevity and vitality.
