L’Oréal for the Future, our sustainability commitments for 2030
The L'Oréal for the Future program, launched in 2020, embodies the Group's ambition in terms of sustainability and the conviction that companies can be part of the solution to the challenges the world is facing.
The program is built around three major strategic axes: transforming our business activities to reduce the impact on climate, water, biodiversity and resources ; empowering its business ecosystem ; helping address the most pressing environmental and social challenges the world is facing. L'Oréal acts in particular by supporting highly vulnerable women and communities who are most exposed to climate disasters, and by investing in the regeneration of nature and the development of the circular economy.
Transforming our activities to respect the planet’s limits
It is no longer enough for companies to reduce their environmental impact with objectives that are “self-set”. At L’Oréal, our commitment is to ensure that our activities are respectful of the so-called “Planetary Boundaries”, meaning what the planet can withstand, as defined by environmental science.
In order to reconcile our needs with the preservation of a resource-limited planet, we are raising the bar and implementing a new internal transformation program. Unlike the first program, our new commitments will not just focus on our direct impact. They will also tackle our indirect, extended impact, related, for example, to the activity of our suppliers and the use of our products by consumers.
Contributing to solving the challenges of the world
Over the past years, expectations as to what the role of companies should be have changed dramatically. At L’Oréal, we want to take on greater responsibility, go beyond the mere transformation of our business model. With our new sustainability program, we want to demonstrate that companies can be part of the solution to some of today’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
For this reason, we are allocating 100 million euros to impact investing dedicated to the regeneration of ecosystems and the development of the circular economy, and 80 million euros to a charitable endowment fund to support highly vulnerable women.
