Caring Together for a Happier Tomorrow: Lancôme is committed to building a more sustainable future
With its "Caring Together for a Happier Tomorrow " sustainability program, Lancôme is tackling today’s most pressing environmental and societal challenges to help build a happier and more sustainable future. The program developed by Lancôme is based on three pillars:
Bring the World to Bloom
To date, 99% of roses used in Lancôme skincare and makeup are organic, and the aim is to reach 100% by 2025. Moreover, by 2030, 100% of all major raw materials will be sourced in a socially responsible and sustainable way.
Live Responsibly
Lancôme commits that 50% of its products will be refillable or rechargeable by 2025.
Write Her Future
By 2022, Lancôme targets to reach 150,000 beneficiaries. To date more than 75,000 women have benefitted from this program across 19 countries and regions.
