Saint Laurent Sustainability Commitments
2030
Use 100% renewable energy
L’Oréal aims to reach 100% renewable energy use on its operated sites and stores by 2030. Renewable energy means power from sources that can be naturally replaced, like wind or solar. This target is part of the group’s climate plan and would affect the wider business that includes Saint Laurent.
2030
Cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions
By 2030, L’Oréal plans to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 57% compared with 2019. Scope 1 means direct emissions from things the company owns or controls, and Scope 2 means emissions from purchased electricity and energy. This is a major climate target for the group.
2030
Lower Scope 3 emissions
L’Oréal aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 28% compared with 2019 by 2030. Scope 3 covers indirect emissions across the value chain, such as purchased goods, transport, distribution, and business travel. This matters because it often makes up a large share of a fashion or beauty company’s footprint.
2030
Use more sustainable materials
By 2030, L’Oréal wants to sustainably source at least 90% of biobased materials used in formulas and packaging, and source over 75% of ingredients from nature or recycled materials in formulas. Biobased means made from plant or other renewable sources. These targets are meant to reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based inputs.
2030
Reduce packaging impact
L’Oréal plans to cut virgin plastic use in packaging by 50% compared with 2019, source 50% of packaging materials from recycled or biobased sources, and reduce packaging intensity by 20%. Packaging intensity means how much packaging is used per product. These goals point to less waste and more reuse of materials.
2030
Expand social support goals
By 2030, L’Oréal aims to help 100,000 people from disadvantaged communities gain access to employment, have all strategic suppliers sign a living wage pledge with a time-bound action plan, support 10 million people through brand social programs, and improve the wellbeing and resilience of 5 million women through philanthropic efforts. These are social targets, not environmental ones.
