Loreal Respecting Biodiversity Preserving the beauty of the planet also means preserving its biodiversity. Natural ecosystems have been damaged, with major consequences for lands and communities across the world, including in terms of their resilience to climate change. We are committed to protecting and preserving biodiversity, a unique bounty. At L'Oréal, we use approximately 1,600 raw materials from nearly 350 species of plants. This is why we see biodiversity as an important and growing source of innovation and are committed to sourcing our ingredients in a sustainable and responsible manner. Our teams are also constantly improving our products' environmental profile. In particular, they have been focusing on improving our formulas' biodegradability and water footprint, and continue to intensify their efforts. “Currently, 87% of our plant-based ingredients are sustainably sourced. By 2030, we will reach 100%” Our concrete commitments for 2030 Our commitments for 2030 will help strengthen our efforts to protect biodiversity along our entire value chain while minimizing the land occupancy needed for all our activities. But while reducing our impact across our value chain is necessary, we know that it is insufficient. We want to go further and help address some of today's most pressing environmental challenges, including the need to restore damaged natural ecosystems. Our targets 100% By 2030, 100% of the bio-based ingredients for formulas and packaging materials will be traceable and will come from sustainable sources. None of them will be linked to deforestation. 0 To limit our impact on natural habitats, we are committing to holding flat, by 2030, the total land occupancy vital to the sourcing of our ingredients, compared to 2019. 100% By 2030, 100% of our industrial sites and all our operated buildings will have a positive impact on biodiversity, compared to 2019.

Contributing to the Regeneration of Nature We believe reducing our impact is necessary but insufficient and that the damage that has already been done needs to be repaired. To help tackle this problem, we want to go beyond our efforts to reduce our impact on biodiversity across our value chain and contribute to repairing natural ecosystems. This is why we are creating the L'Oréal Fund for Nature Regeneration.
