For Henric Sark, country general manager of L’Oréal Singapore, sustainability is a value built into the company, writes Nicolette Wong
HENRIC SARK IS THE consummate L’Oréal ambassador. “I love the Vichy Aqualia serum,” he says, when I ask if he has a favourite among the millions of products that the beauty group makes. “It’s very hydrating, since it has the Vichy mineral water from Auvergne and a lot of hyaluronic acid.”
Vichy is one of the 45 brands currently under the group’s aegis, which splits the brands into four different divisions—luxe (department store brands such as Giorgio Armani and Yves Saint Laurent Beauté), consumer (drugstore brands such as Maybelline New York and L’Oréal Paris), professional (salon brands such as Kérastase and Redken), and active (French pharmacy brands such as Vichy, La Roche-Posay and Sanoflore). The list of brands has varied greatly over the years. But for Sark, the biggest change over his two decades in L’Oréal Group is not so much the brand portfolio as the sharp focus on sustainability efforts in recent years.
