THE BEAUTY OF SUSTAIN­ABILITY For us sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. It is a principle deeply rooted in our core values as a company, reflecting our commitment to responsible environmental action, social engagement and ethical business practices. As Europe’s leading omnichannel destination for premium beauty, we understand our responsibility to our customers, employees, business partners and the world around us. We are dedicated to being a force for positive change. In our updated sustainability strategy, we are focusing on three key areas: People, Planet, and Products with ambitious and clear targets.

𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 #𝗜𝗬𝗞𝗬𝗞 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗳é 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗗ü𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳✨ Have you seen our #IYKYK campaign yet? At the beginning of August, we put our DOUGLAS Collection (NOCIBE Collection in France) in the spotlight of our marketing activities. With the united power of our Brand Strategy & Campaigns team and Corporate Brands team, we have created a powerful campaign that aligns with a current social media trend and hints at insider knowledge – in this case, our high-quality makeup products at an affordable price. For an extra special experience, we have partnered with the beloved Café Soulbrunch in Düsseldorf. The unique aspect is that the menu isn't displayed; guests must explicitly ask for it or notice it at a neighbor’s table – truly capturing our #IYKYK vibe. The café offers three exclusive menus inspired by our campaign's hero products, which not only look stunning but taste heavenly. After enjoying the meal and requesting the bill, guests receive it in a DOUGLAS pouch containing additional goodies and one of our hero products. We kicked off the collaboration with a one-of-a-kind influencer event that included a DOUGLAS COLLECTION masterclass, food tastings, and creative activities. It's a way to discover our products like never before! With our #IYKYK campaign, we aim to engage a younger audience through spot-on social media and customer activations. Dining out at beautiful locations and posting about it has become a part of their leisure activities. That's why we wanted to create a "Hot Spot" in collaboration with a trendy brunch locale that also connects to the beauty world. Such collaborations bring our brand to life and deepen our connection with customers. #IYKYK aims to boost brand awareness and cement DOUGLAS as a trailblazer in the beauty industry. 🙌🏻 📸 © Lena Hogekamp for DOUGLAS Group

Organized by our employee resource group family@DOUGLAS, the day was filled with face painting, scavenger hunts, and even decorating shop windows with our Visual Merchandising team. Little tigers and unicorns explored the workplace, got creative at the craft station, and made memories in the photo booth—all while discovering what their parents do every day. A huge thank you to everyone who made this day so special. We can't wait for the next "Bring Your Kids to Work Day"! #TeamDOUGLAS #FamilyAtDouglas #MakeLifeMoreBeautiful #BringYourKidsToWorkDay

A huge shoutout to the Employer Branding Team Kimberly Brown and Marvin Kuehl for making this fantastic project a reality!

Corporate Brands are an important strategic pillar of our assortment. Not only do they make us unique – our brands are only available with us –, but they also boost our profitability and growth.” According to Susanne, our Corporate Brands are inseparably linked to our retail brand – everything that is done right on the retail brand level is reflected at the product level – and vice versa.   👉 Read the full interview on our blog and learn more about our Corporate Brands portfolio and strategy, the development of our products, and our innovation pipeline: https://lnkd.in/eVHkgeQy #TeamDOUGLAS #MakeLifeMoreBeautiful

🎉𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗦 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘂𝗺! 🎉 We are thrilled to announce the opening of our second DOUGLAS store in Belgium, located in the vibrant city of Leuven! 🛍️ With this new location, we're bringing even more premium beauty to our Belgian customers. Our new Leuven store offers an extensive range of premium beauty products, and exclusive in-store beauty services, all designed to make your shopping experience truly exceptional. Store Manager, Beau Pannemans said: “The opening in Leuven was a great success, there was excitement from our customers from the very beginning. Already early in the morning, a long line formed outside the store, with customers eager to be the first to enter the new store. The festive moment began with the ribbon cutting. Customers enjoyed free makeup touch-ups from our beauty advisors and had the opportunity to have their purchased products engraved, adding a personal and unique touch to their new beauty items. The opening of DOUGLAS in Leuven was a day full of highlights, and the store immediately established itself as a new favorite destination for beauty lovers in Leuven. Until October 2024 we plan to open three more stores in Belgium. This is an important milestone in the development of our store network and the implementation of our 'Let it Bloom' growth strategy. Congratulations #TeamDOUGLAS on the opening! ✨ #LetItBloom
