e.l.f. Beauty (US26866L1044) is adding governance to its growth story. The NYSE-listed cosmetics group has launched the third cohort of its Change the Board Game initiative in partnership with the National Association of Corporate Directors, as reported by Investing.com.

Third cohort in board diversity push

According to an Investing.com report, e.l.f. Beauty welcomed 22 executives into the new cohort of its Change the Board Game program in June 2026. The initiative, launched in 2024, aims to double the rate at which women and people of color join U.S. public company boards by 2027.

The company positions the program as part of a broader ESG agenda in the beauty and personal care sector, where peers such as Estée Lauder and Coty also communicate diversity and representation targets in governance structures.
