M·A·C Is a champion of
Inclusivity and DiversityOur founding credo – All Ages, All Races, All Genders – remains more integral to who we are now than ever before, as we fight for the rights and freedoms of all our friends and fans around the world.

Today, we remain more committed than ever to standing with marginalized communities seeking justice and equality, as we put our resources and energy toward being a force for positive change.
Showing Pride all year longFounded in 1984 by two men in the LGBTQIA+ community, M·A·C is proud to be a place where LGBTQIA+ people have been welcomed since day one to express their creativity, play with colour and be their true selves – and we are committed to continuing this legacy in all that we do.

 From our early days, our employees, friends and family have marched through the streets showing their pride. It’s been a long road and we still have many miles ahead of us, which is why we continue to support the LGBTQIA+ community by driving impactful partnerships, supporting Pride events around the world and amplifying LGBTQIA+ voices – not just one time a year, but every day.Pride, for us, is about celebrating the progress we have made as a community and fighting for the rights and freedoms still to be won.

ONZE LGBTQIA+ PARTNERSCHAPPEN
THE LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL &
TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY CENTER M·A·C also supports The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center) in NYC, which empowers LGBTQIA+ people to lead healthy and successful lives, celebrates diversity and advocates for justice and opportunity. M·A·C VIVA GLAM’s funding helps to support these individuals from communities facing the greatest challenges – including people of colour, LGBTQIA+ immigrants, and transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) New Yorkers.
Los Angeles
LGBT Center M·A·C has supported the LA LGBT Center for over 22 years in their mission to build a world where LGBT people thrive as healthy, equal, and complete members of society. Our funding has supported life-saving and life-sustaining programs for older adults, youths and people living with HIV/AIDS. Current funds contribute to the Center's HIV education, outreach, screening and linkage-to-care aimed particularly at young gay and bisexual men of colour and transgender women.
Hetrick-Martin
Institute (HMI) M·A·C has been a long-time partner of the Hetrick-Martin Institute (HMI) – the nation’s oldest and largest organization that provides a safe and supportive environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth between the ages of 13 and 24, which aims to help them reach their full potential. HMI serves a diverse community – the vast majority of whom identify as Black or people of colour.
Celebrating Beauty Without Gender BoundariesAs a brand that honours individuality and self-expression above all else, we believe that everyone – regardless of gender – should be free to use makeup to tap into their authentic identities. Our stores have long been welcoming spaces for customers and Artists across the gender spectrum to feel safe and valued. We strive to make our products approachable and accessible to everyone of all genders by representing and celebrating beauty in all its forms in our campaigns – from teaming up with RuPaul to kick off the inaugural VIVA GLAM campaign in 1994 to subsequent collaborations in recent years with transgender fashion models Lea T and Dara Allen, along with drag queen Aquaria. Most recently, we partnered withHarris Reed, a non-binary up-and-coming designer out of London, for a collection celebrating the beauty of gender fluidity.
STANDING UP FOR RACIAL EQUITYWe believe in striving for a world without racism. True to our founding credo, we believe we have a responsibility to create an equitable playing field for All Races, starting with our own employees and extending to the communities in which we live and work. This is just the beginning and we won’t do it alone – but together, we are committed to building a more equitable future for all.



 ONZE INZET VOOR DE ZWARTE GEMEENSCHAP Van ervoor te zorgen dat de make-up van de modellen backstage matcht met hun diepere huidskleur tijdens fashion week , meer dan 25 jaar geleden, tot het samenwerken met enkele van de grootste zwarte ontwerpers over de hele wereld, tot het oprichten van één van de grootste populaties zwarte make-up artiesten ter wereld - we hebben een lange geschiedenis van het steunen van de zwarte gemeenschap als bondgenoten, vrienden en familie. We zijn trots op deze erfenis, maar weten dat er nog veel meer werk te doen is.
Dit is ons plan:
Zwarte leiders
vooruit helpen Wij streven ernaar ons personeelsbestand een betere afspiegeling te laten zijn van de gemeenschappen die wij van dienst zijn en een grotere vertegenwoordiging op alle niveaus te creëren. Wij blijven partnerschappen met diverse kandidaten voor elke openstaande functie uitbreiden en stimuleren opkomend zwart talent via interne mentorschapsprogramma's. M∙A∙C was het eerste cosmeticamerk dat vanaf 2019 het 21st Century Advantage Program (21 CAP) van Howard University ondersteunde, een academisch en professioneel ontwikkelingsprogramma voor eerstejaars businessstudenten.
To celebrate diversity in dance, M·A·C UK and Ireland have partnered with Ballet Black for over 20 years, supporting their mission to see a fundamental change in the number of Black and culturally diverse dancers in mainstream ballet companies today. Creative/Product
Development Wij blijven ons inzetten voor onze lange traditie van samenwerking met toonaangevende zwarte creatieven en gezichten in onze campagnes, en zullen onze producten toegankelijk blijven maken voor alle huidtinten. INTERNATIONAL
IMPACT Als een wereldwijd merk met vestigingen in meer dan 130 landen, beloven wij raciale gelijkheid over de hele wereld te bevorderen.
Wij hebben R $250.000 geschonken aan Bloco Ilê Aiyê, een NGO die de uitbreiding van de Afro-Braziliaanse cultuur in Brazilië bevordert, ter ondersteuning van lokale onderwijs- en werkgelegenheidsprogramma's voor de zwarte gemeenschap.
Internal
Advocacy Wij zetten ons in om werknemers te helpen hun stem te laten horen, gehoord te worden en gezamenlijk veranderingen te bewerkstelligen. We blijven onze diversiteitstrainingen uitbreiden en verbeteren op basis van de feedback van onze medewerkers en stellen ons team in staat om deze inspanningen te bevorderen.

In 2020 vormde Senior Artist Fatima Thomas het M·A·C Melanin Beauty Collective - een taskforce van Black M·A·C Artists van verschillende achtergronden en standpunten om het merk te adviseren en voor te lichten over Black beauty. Spreek je uit
en neem actie We beloven ons wereldwijde platform te gebruiken om te pleiten voor verandering en middelen te verstrekken die raciale gelijkheid bevorderen. We hebben meer dan $400.000 gedoneerd aan organisaties die strijden tegen raciale onrechtvaardigheid en blijven ons uitspreken over kwesties die van invloed zijn op de zwarte gemeenschap.
We pledge to hold ourselves accountable for these commitments towards Inclusivity and Diversity, and will also drive necessary change for people of all marginalized identities in need of our advocacy and support.
