In 2024, L'Oréal reached 97% renewable energy for its sites1
L’Oréal is making significant strides in its climate action. In 2024, the Group achieved 97% renewable energy use for its operated sites1, a key step towards its ambitious climate transition plan, whose emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
To achieve these goals, L’Oréal is transitioning to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, to power its facilities. This shift reduces the company’s reliance on fossil fuels and minimizes its carbon footprint by directly addressing Scope 1 (direct emissions from operations) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) emissions. Through this effort, L’Oréal has committed to reaching 100% renewable energy for all operated sites and stores (excluding safety and security equipment).

Focus on South Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa zone (SAPMENA Zone)
The constant efforts of our teams enabled the Group to a remarkable milestone at the end of 2024, reaching 100% renewable energy across all 23 operated sites of its SAPMENA Zone. This achievement is particularly significant given the vast geographical area, stretching from New Zealand to Morocco, requiring a tailored approach through a diverse mix of solutions, from harnessing solar power and existing hydro dams to deploying electric boilers and securing Power Purchase Agreements that support new renewable energy projects. For instance, across factories in Egypt, Indonesia, and India, SAPMENA embraced electric or biomass/biofuel boilers. But it doesn’t stop there – each site draws on a tailored mix of energy sources to suit its environment:
- Yasulor Factory, Indonesia – running on hydro power since 2014, by leveraging natural downstream flow in mountains and dams near the site
- Baddi Factory, India – tapping on surrounding river systems of Himachal Pradesh for hydro power
- Chakan Factory, India – solar energy powering daytime operations and wind energy covering nighttime needs
