The company has also set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, aiming for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by the same year, from a 2019 base year. L'Oréal S.A. has had its near-term and long-term science-based targets validated by the SBTi, consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
