Estee Lauder Cos. told employees it would speed up a review of its policies with a commitment to tackle racial injustice, adding it doesn’t endorse candidates for federal office after more than 100 staff asked for the removal of a board member for his political donations.
In a letter to Chairman William Lauder that was reviewed by Bloomberg News, the staff asked for ouster of Ronald Lauder, a board member and family heir, over his support for President Donald Trump, saying it damages the beauty company’s corporate values and relationship with the black community and employees.
