Supporting gender equality is an urgent universal need, and striving to achieve it will benefit society as a whole. A significant gender gap persists today regarding access to education and economic inclusion. Consequently, women make up nearly 70% of the population living below the poverty line and are disproportionately affected by climate change. Yet, extensive recent research demonstrates that girls' education and gender equality are essential factors in the fight against global warming (learn more about the Drawdown Project).
Chloé was founded in 1952 by a woman, with women, and for women. Our partnership with UNICEF began in 2019, and since then, the Maison has led and developed various other initiatives and collaborations with select stakeholders, all centered on a shared goal: to help improve the status of women and remove the barriers that can hinder them from reaching their full potential.
Honoring the legacy of our founder, Gaby Aghion, we launched the Women Forward Partnerships. Chloé’s philanthropic support for these partners takes the form of donations, team volunteer missions, and product orders placed with partners who are part of our supply chain.

According to UNICEF, globally, the number of young people who are not in school is twice as high for girls as it is for boys. This means that in large parts of the world, girls are not given the chance to contribute fully to positive development of their own lives, and the development of their communities and societies at large.
Since 2019, Chloé has been a proud partner of Skills-4Girls, a UNICEF program that develops girls’ skills in areas such as digital technologies and social entrepreneurship as well as life skills such as problem-solving, negotiation, confidence and communication. To date, this partnership has enabled the training of more than 95,000 girls and Chloé has raised more than €2,3 million and will continue to collect funds to support UNICEF gender equality programs.
