(1) Certified by the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil). (2) Enabling 13,000 women to obtain employment as shea butter producers. (3) L’Oréal’s factories and distribution

accordance with the GHG Protocol. (5) Grams per finished product in factories and distribution centres, including returnable packaging. (6) Litres per finished product. (7) L’Oréal’s
factories and distribution centres. Period 2005-2015.
❚ L’Oréal is committed to constant innovation
in order to offer products that are both suited
to the world’s diverse needs and sustainable
for the environment throughout their life cycle.
The Research and Innovation teams make further
advances in eco-design, green chemistry and
predictive evaluation every single day, in a bid
to develop safe, effective formulas that also respect
the environment.
❚ In 2009, L’Oréal set itself environmental objectives
for 2015: to halve its greenhouse gas emissions
(in absolute terms), as well as its water consumption
and waste generated per finished product. All the
factories and distribution centres worldwide are
actively involved in this effort. For example, at the
São Paulo factory, in Brazil, they are using biofuel
“flex” boilers, and at the Suzhou plant, in China,
they have installed new and improved water
recycling systems. Each year, examples like these
demonstrate the active involvement of production
sites all over the world in stepping up innovation
to meet these goals.
