L’Oréal Climate Emergency Fund
€20 million in additional funding committed through 2030 to support climate-vulnerable communities worldwide.
L'Oréal is renewing its Climate Emergency Fund. With an additional €20 million committed through 2030, the Group reaffirms its dedication to supporting the world's most vulnerable communities in the face of escalating climate-driven disasters.
The urgency has never been greater. In 2025 alone, 358 natural hazard-related disasters were recorded globally. The human toll is also accelerating, with over 110 million people affected in 2025, with 85% linked to climate-related events (storms, floods, droughts, wildfires and extreme temperatures) .
It is against this backdrop that L'Oréal's Climate Emergency Fund is working to make a difference. Since 2023, L'Oréal has backed more than 30 projects across 32 countries.
In India, in partnership with HERA (formerly Climate Resilience for All) and Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA), the Fund launched a first-of-its-kind heat insurance programme for 50,000 women informal workers. During extreme heatwaves, the scheme provides direct payouts to compensate for lost income and healthcare needs, establishing a replicable global model for the urban informal economy.
In Peru and Ecuador, in collaboration with World Vision France, the Fund is supporting the development of an AI system that integrates indigenous knowledge with scientific data, enabling Amazonian communities to better anticipate and adapt to floods and other climate threats.
In Kenya, recognizing that climate change is deepening a global mental health crisis, L'Oréal is supporting Slum Dwellers International in training 1,300 young people across Nairobi's informal settlements. These young leaders are trained to run community-based emotional support programs, establishing a grassroots model for mental health resilience that is built from within.
Backed by three years of successful field-testing and rigorous solution validation with our partners, the Fund is now launching its next phase: scaling proven models by strengthening both risk prevention and emergency response.
The Climate Emergency Fund sits at the heart of L'Oréal's broader ecosystem of impact-driven financial solutions, a continuum that enables the Group to address global challenges through multiple lenses: philanthropic (L'Oréal Fund for Women and Climate Emergency Fund), impact investment (L'Oréal Fund for Nature Regeneration and Circular Innovation Fund), debt fund (Solstice Fund) and our sustainable innovation accelerator L’AcceleratOR. Taken together, these funds represent a combined commitment of €415 million to date, one cornerstone of the L'Oréal for the Future program.
