E.l.f. Beauty released its fourth annual Impact Report. The report includes an evolution of the company’s purpose statement to emphasize action and impact: to make the world a better place for every eye, lip and face.

Tarang Amin, Chairman and CEO, e.l.f. Beauty, said, 

“Sharing our Impact Report is one of my proudest moments each year as we see the collective highlights of living our vision to be a different kind of company by building brands that disrupt norms, shape culture, and connect communities through positivity, inclusivity, and accessibility.”

E.l.f. Beauty’s strong ethos powers its purpose, purpose powers its people, people power its performance – and performance powers its possibilities. 

Focusing on achievements across key areas, including People & Culture, Innovation & Community, Campaigns & Activations, and Environment & Sustainability.

Amin added,

“Our commitment to show up as bold disruptors with kind hearts has been unwavering throughout the company’s 21-year history. It guides how we operate each day and why we make every one of our choices as a purpose-led, results-driven company.”
