摘要

Beauty retailer Sephora has joined the 15% pledge and will dedicate shelf space to black-owned brands.Set up by fashion designer Aurora James,the petition is calling for major retailers in the US to commit a percentage of their shelf space to brands owned by black people.According to the website,black people in the US make up nearly 15% of the overall population,hence the allocation of the percentage."We are proud to commit to the 15% pledge,but we are still in the early planning phases of this work,"the LVMH-owned retailer stated."We have more to do before we can set a date for when we aim to meet this goal,but,as we move forward,we will be transparent with our community about our findings and our plans."The retailer also said this is only the beginning of its plans to do better when representing black-owned brands.
