L’Oréal has committed to reduce its water consumption by 60% per finished product by 2020, compared to 2005. To achieve this goal, the Group is undertaking multiple actions: optimising consumption and developing projects to treat, recycle and reuse water at its production sites.

In 2018, L’Oréal continued to implement its sustainable sourcing policy for renewable raw materials, strengthening it with the support of the NGO Rainforest Alliance.
