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

the French sites of Rambouillet and Roye and those in s Burgos in Spain and Turin in Italy receive their energy supplies from the installation of biomass-fired boilers or plants which are fuelled exclusively by local resources; the Belgian plant in Libramont covers almost all its energy s needs through biomethanation, also using local resources, which allows for the combined production of heat and power; in China, in the United States and in Spain, several plants s are equipped with photovoltaic panels; the energy mix of the Settimo plant in Italy consists of s several locally produced renewable energies: solar panels installed on the roof of the plant and a biomass plant which

supply power, the town’s heating network, and finally the biogas produced from municipal waste. Other sites have chosen to procure renewable energies according to the local offerings. This is the case, for example, of the Chinese plant in Yichang which has chosen to cover all its energy needs by connecting to the hydroelectricity produced from the dam located nearby. 2017 results Thanks to these projects and a longstanding investment in renewable energies, 24 of the Group’s sites achieved carbon neutrality by the end of 2017. In 2017, 53% of the energy consumed by the plants and distribution centres came from renewable sources ; .
