Comments on the 2025 climate performance

In order to provide a comprehensive overview of its progress, L'Oréal assesses its performance against the absolute reduction targets validated by the SBTi. Concerning Scope 3 emissions, although they were up 5% in the year compared with 2019 (versus a reduction target of 28% by 2030), 2025 marked a major turning point, with Scope 3 emissions beginning to fall in absolute terms compared with the previous year.

This reflects the success of the Group's efforts to decouple business growth from its GHG emissions. The Group’s progress has been driven by significant reductions in transport-related emissions, thanks to limited use of air freight, as well as by continuous improvements in packaging circularity and the carbon efficiency of raw materials. Although volume growth and changes in the product mix partially offset this progress, the stabilisation of the Group’s marketing and digital footprint hails a turning point in its decarbonisation pathway.

In order to obtain the highest level of transparency, the Group continued to improve data reliability by moving to a reporting model based primarily on actual business data. This shift from spend-based estimates to physical metrics ensures that the Group’s reporting reflects actual operational improvements, rather than spending fluctuations or the impact of inflation.
