Sustainability and the brand's greater environmental impact has always been pivotal to L'Oréal, which has so far reduced the CO2 emissions of its plants and distribution centers by 78 per cent since 2005 and implemented 35 carbon neutral sites, with 100 per cent renewable energy, including 14 factories. Its Sharing Beauty With All platform, developed in 2013, put social and environmental goals for 2020 in focus, integrating environmentalism and philanthropic programs into every facet of the brand. As an example, 85 per cent of L'Oréal products created or renovated in 2019 had an improved environmental and social profile, and by the end of 2019, L'Oréal had helped 90,635 people from disadvantaged communities find employment through the solidarity purchasing and inclusion programs. Issues and focuses such as climate protection, water management, forest preservation remain core to the brand.
