L’Oréal Groupe reaches 100% renewable energy across its sites

By the end of 2025, L'Oréal achieved its goal of 100% renewable energy for its sites and stores^₁

L’Oréal is making significant strides in its climate action. By the end of 2025, L’Oréal achieved its goal of 100% renewable energy across all its operated sites (factories, distribution centers, research centers, and administrative offices) and stores where the Group holds an electricity subscription, a key step towards its ambitious climate transition plan, whose emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

This achievement is the result of operational discipline combining energy conservation and efficiency, driven by the optimization of the Group’s industrial processes and a robust renewable energy sourcing strategy. These targeted investments have also contributed to the local development of new solar and wind sectors. This success further relies on the significant deployment and acceleration of on-site energy production (biomass, geothermal, and solar).

L’Oréal is also developing long-term strategic partnerships across all continents with renewable energy producers.

Focus on South Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa zone (SAPMENA Zone)

The constant efforts of our teams enabled the Group to a remarkable milestone at the end of 2024, reaching 100% renewable energy across all 23 operated sites of its SAPMENA Zone. This achievement is particularly significant given the vast geographical area, stretching from New Zealand to Morocco, requiring a tailored approach through a diverse mix of solutions, from harnessing solar power and existing hydro dams to deploying electric boilers and securing Power Purchase Agreements that support new renewable energy projects. For instance, across factories in Egypt, Indonesia, and India, SAPMENA embraced electric or biomass/biofuel boilers. But it doesn’t stop there – each site draws on a tailored mix of energy sources to suit its environment:

• Yasulor Factory, Indonesia – running on hydro power since 2014, by leveraging natural downstream flow in mountains and dams near the site
•  Baddi Factory, India – tapping on surrounding river systems of Himachal Pradesh for hydro power
• Chakan Factory, India – solar energy powering daytime operations and wind energy covering nighttime needs
