Our commitments
L’Oréal is committed to sustainable, responsible and shared growth, especially through its "Sharing Beauty With All" programme. These commitments are in addition to Citizen Day, a day dedicated to solidarity organised by L’Oréal, and the initiatives of the L'Oréal Corporate Foundation.
“Sharing Beauty With All"
The social and environmental responsibility programme "Sharing Beauty With All", launched in 2013, is aimed at making L'Oréal a model company in terms of sustainable innovation, production and consumption, and in sharing its growth with all the Group’s stakeholders.
1
Innovating sustainably
By 2020, 100% of L’Oréal’s products will have an improved environmental or social profile. Reduction of the environmental footprint of formulas, respect for biodiversity via a sustainable and responsible sourcing policy for raw materials, eco-design of packaging and commitment to zero deforestation are all levers used by L’Oréal to drive sustainable innovation.
2
Producing sustainably
L’Oréal has set the target for 2020 of reducing the environmental footprint of its plants and distribution centres by 60% from a 2005 baseline. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms, of water consumption and of waste generation per finished product unit, and the reduction of impacts related to transportation, have become fundamental criteria for L’Oréal’s industrial performance.
3
Living sustainably
L’Oréal aims to empower its consumers to make sustainable choices. To achieve this target, the Group adopts several approaches: aggregating information on the environmental and social impact of products, evaluating the footprint of each brand, raising awareness among consumers and making sustainable development desirable.
4
Developing sustainably
Sharing its growth with its internal and external stakeholders is a priority for L’Oréal. The Group promotes access to work for people from underprivileged communities by deploying various programmes, associates its suppliers with its sustainable development policy and offers to its employees the best social practices all over the world, in terms of health insurance cover and social protection.

L’Oréal Citizen Day 2017 set a new participation record: 30,000 employees volunteered worldwide to support 370,000 beneficiaries.
