L'Oréal scores 46/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places L'Oréal joint 225th of 809 companies scored, and joint 7th of 47 in FMCG / Consumer Goods.
L'Oréal has cut operational emissions 51% since 2019 and reached 97% renewable energy, but total emissions rose above 2019 baseline due to Scope 3 increases. Packaging recycling targets were missed, and recent controversies—greenwashing claims, PFAS lawsuits, child labor allegations in supply chains—expose gaps between commitments and practice.
