L’Oréal unveils sustainability plan

This week the world’s largest beauty company introduced L’Oréal for the Future, a program designed to boost sustainability and inclusion commitments.

The program, according to Alexandra Palt, chief corporate responsibility officer and executive vice president of the Fondation L’Oréal, defines targets according to science.

Highlights of L’Oréal for the Future include, by 2025 each of the group’s sites will have attained carbon neutrality by using 100% renewable energy. By 2030, all the plastics used in L’Oréal’s product packaging are to be from recycled or bio-based sources, and the group aims to half its greenhouse gas emissions per finished product versus 2016. The company notes that meeting these objectives should also improve the environmental profiles of suppliers and consumers.
