Each factory and distribution centre strives, on a voluntary basis, to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, through a variety of actions:
• optimisation of steam networks in factories, less consumption of fossil fuels,
• optimisation of heat in the factories and DC, less consumption of fossil fuels,
• Use of heat pumps,
• recovery of energy generated by wastewater,
• recovery of energy from compressors,
• optimising the electricity consumed, as in the generation of compressed air, use of LEDS in some sites, variable frequency motors to
adapt the speed to the needss,
• Changes in staff behaviour,
• on-site production of renewable electricity (solar),
• Use of geothermal energye,
• Purchase of green power…

• Tonnes of substances (estimate): 0.184 t.
• Tonnes of equivalent CFC-11 (estimate): 0.178 t.
These estimates come from a survey performed on the 2009 values. This study shows that the equivalent Co 2 emitted by the oDS* represents
less than one per cent of direct Co 2 emissions. Using the total direct emissions, we have estimated the oDS* to the group’s scale (tonnes
of Co 2 ); this quantity was then translated into equivalent tonnes of CFC-11. Concerning substance quantity, we based the calculation on
the amount emitted by the study sample concerning the equivalent amount of Co 2 .

The calculation below is established according to the data recorded by the various sites:
NO negligible
SO 6,532 kg 4
POP 0
VOC 121.8 t 4
PAHs 0
Smoke emissions and fugitive emissions 0
Particulate matter, cosmetic powder negligible

Before being discharged, wastewater quality is tested in compliance with legal and contractual requirements. approximately 60% of
the L’oréal sites include on-site treatment with state of the art facilities using physical, chemical and biological processes. In 2011, the
group increased its CoD (chemical oxygen demand, the most common indicator used for wastewater treatment) by 7%, or 1.2 g per
finished product, following on-site treatment. Most of the time, L’oréal’s wastewater discharge is relatively low compared to the volume
of municipal wastewater.
