L’Oréal Groupe has been recognized for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change, forests and water security by the global environmental non-profit, CDP, securing a place on its prestigious annual ‘A List’ for the ninth year running. 

L’Oréal Groupe remains the only company to have achieved this distinction for nine consecutive years. Key achievements include reaching 91% renewable energy at the Groupe’s sites1; reducing water withdrawals from its factories and distribution centers by 54% per finished product; and achieving 93% of the biobased ingredients from its formulas being traceable and derived from sustainable sources.   

“Achieving a ninth consecutive triple ‘A’ score from CDP is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our teams and the deep integration of sustainability into our business model. We are proud of this continued recognition," said Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer, L’Oréal Groupe.  

"This distinction not only recognizes the great strides we've made, but also fuels our responsibility to pursue a more sustainable future,” said Ezgi Barcenas, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, L’Oréal Groupe. “We are driven by the urgency and scale of challenges facing our planet and remain committed to working transparently and collaboratively to drive meaningful transformation across our value chain.” 

Fully aligned with the Taskforce for Climate Related Financial Disclosure, CDP holds the largest environmental database in the world, and its scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions towards a zero carbon, sustainable and resilient economy. 

A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks, and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.  

“As the founder of environmental reporting, CDP is dedicated to building a world where people, planet and profit are truly balanced. We greatly appreciate the support of L’Oréal Groupe in our efforts to continue pioneering transparency; powering corporate environmental action,” said Simon Fischweicher, Chief Delivery Officer, CDP. “Transparency drives action at all levels. Within two years of an investor request, companies disclosing through CDP reduce their direct emissions by 7-10%. Disclosure is far more than a box to tick. It’s a tool to see clearly, act decisively and create change. If we are to solve the environmental crisis, disclosure data must be a tool every organization – large or small – has in their kit. Transparent disclosure holds the key, meaning that now this commitment from L’Oréal Groupe is more important than ever. With the support of L’Oréal Groupe, we can collect the data needed to surface new information, enabling you to make Earth-positive decisions to protect future generations.”
