In a nutshell

By 2025, L’Oréal, the global leader in the cosmetics industry, will cover 100% of its sites’ electricity consumption through various forms of renewable electricity procurement (via power purchase agreements or guarantees of origin).
Recognizing that not all forms of energy procurement are created equal, L’Oréal enlisted Carbone 4 to develop an accessible, globally applicable framework for improving the carbon quality of green electricity contracts
This project helped co-develop the approach outlined in Carbone 4’s methodological guide on accounting for emissions associated with the purchase of green electricity—a method now available to any organization seeking to maximize the decarbonization impact of its procurement strategy.
