How has L’Oréal’s global
industrial model
been strengthened?
In 2013, Operations continued their
roll-out, as reflected in the rise in
prominence of the Kaluga plant
inRussia which – two years after
opening – has the best service level
inEurope. Another key development
is the strengthening of our presence
in Africa, with the opening of
theplant at Cairo, Egypt, running
since May 2013. Furthermore,
withtheacquisition of INTERBEAUTY,
whose factory is in Nairobi, L’Oréal
now has three industrial entities to
serve consumers in the Africa, Middle
East Zone. In Colombia, the factory
acquired with the VOGUE brand is
currently being expanded to meet
strong local demand. In Asia-Pacific,
the Yichang plant in China has had
its production capacity increased,
andis now the largest make-up
production facility in Asia.
How does Operations integrate
these new entities?
With the acquisition of several brands
in the New Markets, and the opening
of new industrial facilities, we are
committed to taking on these
newemployees, while respecting
their culture and local specificities.
Wehave developed a support
programme for newly recruited
With a solid global industrial network of 45 plants including 36 for cosmetics,
5 for dermatology, 3 for raw materials and 1 for instrumental cosmetics, the strategy
of Operations(1) is based on an evolving and regionalised industrial policy.
Operations are committed
to the environment
In 2013, L’Oréal obtained a 93A rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP): 93/100 is the score given
for transparency of information, and the letter A is the performance rating. The group evaluates all emis-
sions across the whole spectrum of its activities, and has set itself ambitious targets. In 2012 it joined the
CDP’s Climate Disclosure Leadership Index, which includes the 10% of companies with the highest ratings
for quality of information provided. Since 2008, the group has also been a member of the supply chain
programme, which encourages suppliers to measure, declare and reduce their carbon emissions.
