Bond issues are mainly carried out as part of a “Euro Medium-Term Notes” program with a ceiling of €15 billion at 31 December 2025.

Sustainability-linked Bond

On 22 March 2022, the Group issued its first Sustainability-linked bond. This fixed-rate issue with a maturity of 4 years and 3 months and an amount of €1,250 million, has a coupon of 0.875% per year.

The financial characteristics of the Sustainability-linked bond are linked to three sustainability performance targets:

  • all sites operated by L’Oréal will achieve 100% renewable energy (formerly called “carbon neutral”) by 31 December 2025;
  • Greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) from production to point of sale (cradle-to-shelf) will be reduced by 14% per product sold by 2025 compared to the 2021 reference year;
  • 50% of the Group's plastic packaging will be of recycled or bio-sourced origin by 2025.

The targets relating to renewable energy and greenhouse gas intensity were not met by the end of 2025, resulting in a premium of 0.25% on this tranche.
