RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION

24 of L’Oréal industrial sites were “carbon neutral” at year-end 2017, an increase of 60% vs. 2016, including 9 plants (Libramont in Belgium, Settimo in Italy, Burgos and Alcalá de Henares in Spain, Rambouillet, Ormes and Gauchy in France, Karlsruhe in Germany and Montreal in Canada). Burgos in Spain became the first L’Oréal “Dry Factory” at the end of 2017: the water used for the plant's industrial processes is purified and recycled in a loop and re-used. (see 3.2.2.2.). L’Oréal's 25-year commitment to environmental leadership was recognised in 2016 and 2017 by the CDP (1) . L’Oréal is one of only two companies in the world, out of nearly 3,000 assessed, to receive this distinction. For the second year in a row, L’Oréal received the highest possible score with an A ranking, in each of the three CDP environmental protection categories: the fight against climate change, sustainable water management and the fight against deforestation.
