The EHS manual furthermore determines the measures to be applied to control the facilities and activities, in particular to reduce to the greatest extent possible the risks of injury to persons and damage to property and the environment. It covers the following areas in particular: the safety of persons and property; s fire safety; s maintenance and work; s risks of accidental pollution; s efficiency of the use of resources, water and energy s consumption; greenhouse gas emissions, waste water discharges, waste s generation and treatment. This policy is accompanied by the monthly reporting of detailed indicators which make it possible to monitor changes in the results with regard to each of these areas and thus to identify anomalies and incidents.

This EHS manual is rolled out at all industrial sites, research centres and administrative sites. Deployment of the manual within stores is underway. Training in EHS policy and practices Training sessions devoted to L’Oréal’s EHS policy and practices have been provided for at all levels of the Company.

There are various audit grids called “risk”, “culture”, or “combined risk and culture”, used depending on the maturity and type of activity at the sites. They assess in particular: compliance of practices and facilities with the Group’s rules s and procedures; progress in environmental, health and safety performances; s any risks that the sites may present from an EHS standpoint; s the level of management and deployment of EHS culture on s the sites. L’Oréal also shares with its subcontractors the objective of improving Environmental, Health and Safety performances. Audits are carried out by independent third parties for this purpose on production or logistics subcontracting sites, in accordance with the criteria defined by L'Oréal, which are similar to those used for the Group’s entities.

In addition to these specialist training sessions, all new L’Oréal employees receive general and specific training at their workstation including the Group’s EHS rules before taking up their positions. A worldwide audit programme In order to ensure compliance with the Group’s EHS policy, a system of worldwide audits has been set up since 1996, and was reinforced in 2001 with the presence of external auditors, who are experts in the local context and regulations. These audits take place regularly at all L’Oréal sites: every three years for production sites and every four years for the distribution centres, administrative sites and research centres. If the result of the audit does not meet the standard required by the L’Oréal benchmarks, a specific interim audit is scheduled for the following year.
