aid: estee-lauder-companies name: The Estée Lauder Companies description: >- The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE: EL) is one of the world's leading manufacturers, marketers and sellers of quality prestige skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care products. Founded in 1946 by Estée and Joseph Lauder, the family-controlled, New York-headquartered conglomerate operates a portfolio of more than 20 prestige brands sold in approximately 150 countries and territories, employs roughly 57,000 people worldwide, and reported fiscal 2025 net sales of approximately $14.32 billion. ELC's corporate website (elcompanies.com) does not expose any public developer APIs, OpenAPI specs, SDKs, sandboxes, or a developer portal — the EsteeLauder GitHub organization is empty of public repositories. The technology surface is instead expressed through enterprise partnerships: the AI Innovation Lab (announced 2023, expanded April 2024) jointly run with Microsoft on Azure OpenAI Service; the ConsumerIQ tool built on Microsoft Copilot Studio (2025); an Adobe Firefly Services generative AI collaboration for digital marketing assets (March 2025); a Google Gemini / Vertex AI–powered Jo Malone London Scent Advisor (December 2025); and a Shopify-based unified global direct-to-consumer commerce platform (announced October 2025, ~50% rolled out by calendar year-end 2026). ELC's strategic vision, "Beauty Reimagined" (announced February 2025), and the Profit Recovery and Growth Plan ($0.8–1.0B gross benefits; $1.2–1.6B restructuring charges) anchor the One ELC operating model now led by CEO Stéphane de La Faverie and Board Chair William P. Lauder. kind: company image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Beauty - Consumer Products - Cosmetics - Fragrance - Hair Care - Luxury Goods - Makeup - Personal Care - Prestige Beauty - Skin Care - Fortune 500 url: >- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/estee-lauder-companies/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-23' modified: '2026-05-23' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: [] common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/estee-lauder-companies-domain-security.yml - type: Website url: https://www.elcompanies.com - type: AboutUs url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/who-we-are - type: Brands url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/our-brands - type: Leadership url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/who-we-are - type: Heritage url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/who-we-are/the-lauder-family - type: InvestorRelations url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/investors - type: Newsroom url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom - type: PressReleases url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases - type: Careers url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/careers - type: Sustainability url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/our-impact - type: Compliance url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/our-impact/responsible-sourcing - type: GitHubOrganization url: https://github.com/EsteeLauder description: >- Organization exists but is empty — page states "This organization has no public repositories." - type: LinkedIn url: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-estee-lauder-companies-inc - type: StrategicVision url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/our-company/beauty-reimagined title: Beauty Reimagined Strategic Vision (announced February 2025) - type: Partners url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases/2024/04-26-2024 title: AI Innovation Lab with Microsoft Azure OpenAI (April 26, 2024) - type: Partners url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/company-features/2025/elc-microsoft-consumer-iq title: ConsumerIQ on Microsoft Copilot Studio (April 29, 2025) - type: Partners url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases/2025/03-12-2025-02 title: Adobe Firefly Services for digital marketing asset production (March 12, 2025) - type: Partners url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases/2025/10-28-2025-212608571 title: Shopify global direct-to-consumer commerce platform (October 28, 2025) - type: Partners url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases/2025/12-02-2025-121509645 title: Jo Malone London AI Scent Advisor on Google Gemini / Vertex AI (December 2, 2025) - type: Partners url: https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases/2026/04-01-2026-220015297 title: One ELC operating model and Profit Recovery and Growth Plan milestone (April 1, 2026) - name: BrandPortfolio type: Features description: >- The Estée Lauder Companies prestige brand portfolio (~25 brands across skin care, makeup, fragrance, hair care).
