A table, prepared according to the latest GRI(1)Global Reporting Initiative. Standards, is available in the “ESG Performance” section under the “Commitments” tab on the loreal.com website. Material issues have been mapped with the relevant GRI Standards disclosure.
This table provides a detailed list of all restatements made to adjust our GHG footprint since 2016. These changes may concern the scope under review, the methodology used or the emission factors used.
