L'Oréal’s corporate social, environmental and societal responsibility* THE SHARING BEAUTY WITH ALL PROGRAMME

Reducing energy consumption For over twenty years, the Group has been endeavouring to reduce its energy consumption. These efforts essentially concern two areas: ongoing improvement of industrial processes and the s performance of associated equipment;

optimisation of energy consumption in the buildings. In this s respect, any new Group building has to comply with the strictest environmental standards. This policy made it possible to reduce the consumption of plants and distribution centres in kWh per finished product by 35% between 2005 and 2017.

IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY THANKS TO THE “ ENERGYSCAN ” PROJECT

In order to support our Sharing Beauty With All objectives, and to facilitate the ISO 50001 energy efficiency projects, the Energyscan tool, a standard tool for the analysis and exhaustive mapping of energy consumption is now deployed at each of the Group's plants. This tool allows the different energy utilisation items (utilities, production, buildings) to be categorised and the consumption for each of these categories to be identified. The best performance levels for a given use are established as a standard for plants with similar technology and then represent a target for each plant. A platform for exchanging “Best Practices” between sites complements this diagnostic tool. The projects making it possible to achieve these targets are identified and quantified on each site and the completion of such projects scheduled over time. This forms the Group’s “Energy roadmap”, the performance of which is monitored on a monthly basis.

Use of renewable energies L’Oréal has defined a strategy involving the use of renewable energies which is based on the potentialities offered by each local context. To this effect, over the last few years, several large projects have been rolled out on certain of the Group’s sites, enabling them to produce their own renewable energy directly and thereby significantly reducing their CO 2 emissions:

In order to anchor this performance in a sustainable manner in the industrial management processes, the Group has undertaken ISO 50001 certification of its plants since 2014. Its objective is the certification of 100% of its production sites by 2020. As of the end of 2017, 44% of the plants have already been ISO 50001 certified.
