Fighting Climate Change

For more than 20 years, we have worked to reduce the CO2 emissions linked to our industrial activity. To achieve this, we improved energy efficiency across all our facilities (buildings, equipment, etc.), increased the use of local renewable energy wherever possible and achieved the targets defined for the sites without carbon offsetting projects. We elaborated our renewable energy strategy according to the local possibilities offered by the industrial sites in the various countries where we operate: for most of our carbon reduction projects, we used locally produced renewable energy, or directly produced our own renewable energy (biomass, biomethanisation, solar panels, etc.).

What we’ve achieved so far

97%

 By 2024, L'Oréal will have achieved 97% renewable energy for its sites**.

Low Carbon Growth: Our Strategy

In 2023, CO2 emissions on operated sites has been reduced by 74% versus the 2019 baseline. In the same period, its production volume increased by 12%  compared with 2019, which confirms L’Oréal’s ability to combine commercial success with its commitment to ambitious climate action

Focus On Reducing Our Carbon Emissions: What Have We Been Up To?

Our most rapid progress has been on our transition towards a low carbon business model. Here’s an overview of how this was achieved.

*What do Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions mean?

Scope 1
Direct emissions, from owned or controlled sources.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions linked to the consumption of electricity, heat or steam required to manufacture products or run the company.
Scope 3
Other indirect emissions, linked to the supply chain (upstream) and to the use of products and services during their life cycle (downstream).

**These are the Group's operated sites, excluding security installations. Operated sites include all production sites (factories, distribution centers) as well as administrative sites and research centers. Only sites with more than 50 employees are included.
