As part of L’Oréal’s sustainability programme, Sharing Beauty With All, launched in 2013, the Group set itself a series of tangible commitments towards 2020. They address all its impacts and engage its whole value chain – from product design to distribution, including the production
process and the sourcing of raw materials. The commitments are organised into four pillars: innovating sustainably, producing sustainably, living sustainably and sharing growth with employees, suppliers and the communities with which L’Oréal interacts. Every year, L’Oréal, measures its progress quantitatively, making its results available to everyone.
By upholding its commitment to continuous improvement, L’Oréal maintains an ongoing dialogue with its stakeholders, in order to share its sustainability strategy and co-create its initiatives. In 2017, it consulted 110 NGOs, associations and academic experts.
Overall, it has consulted 960 different organisations since 2011. The Group’s sustainability programme, along with its strong commitment to ethics, its policy of promoting diversity and inclusion, and its philanthropic activities (conducted with the support of the L’Oréal Foundation
and by its brands), enable the Group to contribute to 14 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015.
