L’Oreal Sustainability Actions

Publishes annual ESG reporting

L'Oréal says it publishes detailed ESG reports every year. Its reporting includes a sustainability report, an ESG databook, and policy documents on topics like human rights, water use, forests, product design, and responsible marketing. The company says these reports are meant to track progress, explain its strategy, and give stakeholders more transparency. This matters because ESG means environmental, social, and governance issues, or how a company affects people and the planet and how it is run.

Set a 2030 climate plan

L'Oréal's “L’Oréal for the Future” program sets climate goals for 2030. The company says it wants all operated sites and stores to use 100% renewable energy, cut absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 57% versus 2019, and reduce Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods, transport, distribution, and business travel by 28% versus 2019. Scope 1 and 2 cover direct emissions from its own operations and purchased energy, while Scope 3 covers most of the wider supply chain.

Improved product profiles in 2023

L'Oréal says that 96% of its new or updated products in 2023 had an improved environmental or social profile. It also says 79% had a better environmental profile because of a new formula with a lower environmental footprint, and 69% improved because of packaging with a lower environmental footprint. This shows the company is changing both formulas and packaging, not just making broad claims about sustainability.

Published supplier and ethics policies

The company has published policies on responsible and sustainable sourcing, environmental product design, employee human rights, and responsible advertising and marketing. It also shares a code of ethics and a supplier-related commitment letter. These documents show how L'Oréal says it expects suppliers and staff to behave, including around human rights, sourcing, and business conduct.

Uses sustainability ratings and frameworks

L'Oréal says it reports to several outside rating bodies and frameworks, including CSRD (the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), CDP-style disclosures, and other non-financial assessors. It also lists ratings such as EcoVadis, ISS ESG, Sustainalytics, MSCI, FTSE4Good, and UNGC status on its ESG page. This suggests the company is actively measured by outside groups, not only by its own reporting.

Launched a sustainable innovation fund

L'Oréal says it launched a sustainable innovation accelerator to find and scale new technologies for climate, nature, and circularity. It describes this as a way to support breakthrough ideas that can reduce environmental impact across beauty products and operations. Circularity means keeping materials in use for longer instead of throwing them away after one use.
