For The Planet

For over 25 years, L'Oréal has proactively worked towards a sustainable and inclusive future, seeking to protect the planet’s beauty and empowering communities worldwide.

We made choices very early on that were ahead of their time and which have helped us become better prepared to tackle the challenges facing the world today. The L'Oréal for the Future program, launched in 2020, is the latest chapter in this long journey, and continues our deep and long-held commitment to transparent and impactful change. It reflects our conviction that economic performance and environmental and social responsibility are inseparable. 

We believe that transformation happens through action – one product, one choice, one moment at a time – because deliberate daily choices can set in motion forces greater than themselves.

As the world’s largest beauty company, we recognize our unique position and responsibility to drive real, meaningful change: from addressing the impacts of climate change, to safeguarding natural resources, to championing circularity, and building community resilience, our actions are anchored in latest environmental science and underpinned by our desire for constant improvement.

2025 marks the halfway point in our L’Oréal for the Future program 

At the halfway point of this program, which was launched in 2020, we have reflected on our progress and learnings, refined our roadmaps and reinforced our commitments. Several of our initial objectives have now become systematically integrated into standard practices and operational policies, we’ve adjusted some roadmaps and introduced new targets addressing key material topics, including virgin plastic reduction, nature regeneration and water resilience.
