The Group has adopted an approach aimed at preserving global resources. Into this are incorporated both reduction at source and research into the best solutions for recovering the waste it produces.
Since 2020, collaborations between L’Oréal and waste treatment companies have resulted in the development of recycling solutions for unmarketable finished products that are unsuitable for donation. In 2020, a study began with the L’Oréal Research Laboratories to find material recovery alternatives for the sludge coming from the Group’s wastewater treatment plants. Thanks to this work, in 2022 the Group was able to implement a specific procedure dedicated to resolving the issue.
In 2023, 97% of the waste generated by industrial sites was recovered through reuse, recycling or energy recovery. In 2023, 19 factories and 23 distribution centres had a recovery rate of 100%.
94% of the waste generated by administrative sites and research centres was recovered in 2023. In 2023, 43 administrative sites and 5 research centres had a recovery rate of 100%.
60% material recovery fromwaste in 2023 for the Group.
There was a 61% material recovery of the waste generated on industrial sites in 2023.
