12.12.2025 - Commitments
Clichy, France – December 12, 2025 – L’Oréal has been recognized with a triple-A rating by the global environmental non-profit organization CDP, for the 10th year running, for its leadership in corporate transparency, and its performance on climate change, forests and water security - becoming the first and only company to achieve this distinction.
L’Oréal was one of only 23 companies to receive a triple-A score in 2025, out of 22,100 companies reporting this year, and the only one to get it 10 consecutive times. This distinction recognizes the deep commitment of L’Oreal to building a sustainable future.
Key achievements, in 2024, include reaching 97% renewable energy across its operated sites, sourcing 92% of its bio-based ingredients and materials in formulas and packaging from sustainable, traceable sources, and ensuring that 53% of the water used in its industrial processes comes from recycled or reused sources.
“This unparalleled achievement is testament to L’Oréal’s deep-rooted commitment to fully integrate sustainability into the heart of our business strategy and across our day-to-day operations,” said Ezgi Barcenas, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, and Antoine Vanlaeys, Chief Operations Officer, L’Oréal Groupe. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams and ecosystem. More than ever, we are committed to embracing innovation and collaborative partnerships for a more sustainable future.”
“As the world’s largest beauty company, we recognize our unique position and responsibility to drive real, meaningful change,” said Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer, L’Oréal Group. “I am immensely proud that L’Oréal is the only company to have ever achieved a 10th consecutive triple-A rating from CDP. I would like to pay tribute to all our employees and partners across our value chain who work relentlessly to create the beauty that moves the world”.
CDP’s scoring draws on a rigorous and independent methodology, aligned with the TCFD framework. It evaluates companies’ depth of reporting, understanding of environmental risks, and evidence of best practice - including ambitious target-setting and verified action. CDP maintains the world’s largest repository of environmental information and is widely relied on to guide investment and procurement decisions that support a net-zero, sustainable and earth-positive global economy. In 2025, 640 investors with $127 trillion in assets asked CDP to collect data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities.
“Congratulations to all companies on CDP’s A List,” said Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP. “Businesses earning an ‘A’ score are proving that environmental ambition and commercial strength go hand in hand. High quality data gives leaders the confidence to make earth-positive decisions that secure long-term competitiveness, attract capital and safeguard natural systems. These organisations show what is possible when transparency becomes the foundation for action.”
