‘L’Oreal has announced a series of green goals including the halving of greenhouse gas emissions by 2015.

The world’s largest cosmetics company has pledged to cut its 230.3 thousand tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2005 in half by 2015.

L’Oreal will also cut waste generation and water use by the same amount over the same period. In 2005 the company consumed 0.72 litres of water per finished product and generated 32.2 grams of waste per finished product. Steps have already been taken to achieve these goals. Since 2005 L’Oreal has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 11.5 per cent, water use by 13 per cent and waste per finished product by 10.1 per cent.’
