AT ADMINISTRATIVE SITES AND RESEARCH CENTRES
As part of the L’Oréal for the Future programme, the Group has set itself a new target for 2030: to reduce the energy consumption of administrative sites and research centres by 40% per 100 hours worked, compared to 2019.
Total water consumption in the administrative sites and research centres was 170,582 megawatt-hours for 2021, a decrease of 9% in absolute value compared to 2019.
In 2021, the total energy consumption of the administrative sites and research centres was 507 kilowatt-hours per 100 hours worked, a 98% increase compared to 2019 (increase of 21% compared to 2020).
These results are primarily linked to the effects of the Covid-19 health crisis, which led to the complete or partial closure of several sites around the world, resulting in a decrease in hours worked on-site of 54% compared to 2019 (a 13% decrease compared to 2020). This difference between the decrease in hours worked on-site and the consumption of energy is primarily linked to the nature of activities that continued on the sites (laboratories, pilots, etc.), which are energy consuming.
