At administrative sites and research centres
The L’Oréal for the Future programme aims for a 40% reduction in energy consumption by 2030 at administrative sites and research centres per 100 hours worked compared with 2019.
In 2022, total energy consumption at the administrative sites and research centres was 162,914 megawatt-hours, a decrease of 14% in absolute value compared with 2019. The total energy consumption at the administrative sites and research centres was 354 kilowatt-hours per 100 hours worked, a 34% increase compared with 2019 (-34% compared with 2021).
Changes in energy consumption intensity (in relation to the number of hours worked on site) have been significantly affected by changes in work organisation. Indeed, since the lockdown periods (still in place in China for several months of 2022), the on-site attendance rate has fallen sharply due to the extensive use of remote working. Moreover, industrial pilot, laboratory and pre-launch testing(1) activities, which are more related to research and development projects and new product launches, consume a lot of energy regardless of the number of employees present. A minimum energy requirement is also essential for the operation of buildings and technical facilities.
