In their own words:

"Even though the cosmetics industry has a limited environmental footprint, for many years L’Oréal has been proactive in driving
forward major programmes in resource efficiency, biodiversity and protection of the biosphere. As a result, we are well on the
way to achieving extremely stretching targets to reduce our CO2 emissions, water consumption and waste production – by 50% in each case, from 2005 to 2015. Already, at the halfway stage, we have reduced water consumption by 19%, CO2 emissions by 27% and waste volumes by 23%.

We are equally convinced that sustainable innovation is the pathway towards better, responsible consumption. Our laboratories have for many years embraced this strategy, which encompasses all the lifecycle stages of our products. We continue to invest in ecodesign, the eco-evaluation of our ingredients and green chemistry.

We are incorporating more and more renewable raw materials with a low environmental impact and today 40% of our raw materials are of plant origin.

Our 2015 targets are ambitious: 50% reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, waste and water consumption per finished product. Our fair trade policy and commitment to local communities are fully integrated into our business decision making process."
