L’Oréal’s locations in South Asia Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa use 100% renewable energy

Beauty packaging leader L’Oréal has achieved 100% renewable energy across its operations in the SAPMENA (South Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa) zone. This includes all factories, distribution centers, administrative offices and a research and innovation center within the zone.

Vismay Sharma, President, L’Oréal SAPMENA Zone said:

“L’Oréal’s SAPMENA zone covers an extensive geographical area stretching from New Zealand to Morocco and is a key growth driver for L’Oréal, where one in two new consumers will come from over the next decade. This region is one of the most climate-impacted regions. We are changing, and as a global leader in beauty, it is critical that we incorporate sustainable practices into our operations as we grow.”

This is a significant step in the Zone’s sustainability journey and comes amid a period of dynamic growth for L’Oréal SAPMENA, with double-digit production and sales growth since 2021.

The 23 sites within the SAPMENA zone use a variety of renewable energy solutions, including solar systems, dams and electric boilers. The zone also secured long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and/or used green supply contracts and energy attribute certificates.

Going forward, L’Oréal will continue to invest in renewable energy sources to achieve net zero.

The company will also address CO2 reduction in packaging, logistics and transportation and invest in the qualification and training of strategic suppliers.

By 2030, L’Oréal will innovate to enable our consumers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of products by 25% on average and per finished product compared to 2016.
