Stepping Up The Deployment Of Renewable Energy

In the United States, L’Oréal reduced the CO₂ emissions of its plants and distribution centres by 84% between 2005 and 2017.

By end of 2017, all L’Oréal production sites were supplied by 100% renewable electricity, due to a series of on-site renewable energy projects and the purchasing of Renewable Energy Certificates at a local level. L’Oréal has installed more than 3,500 solar panels (with a 1.2MW generating capacity) at its plant in North Little Rock, Arkansas, and 4,100 panels (with 1.42MW generating capacity) at its Florence plant in Kentucky.

Additionally, the Group launched another major initiative in 2017: biogas sourcing. This will help to significantly expand the proportion of renewable energy used by L’Oréal’s North American production and distribution sites. 

In 2017, L’Oréal USA received a Green Power Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
