Net Zero

COMMITMENT TO NET ZERO BY 2050​

At L’OCCITANE, we are currently transforming our business in response to the climate emergency and have developed an in depth Climate strategy to support the changes needed. More details can be found here

As part of our Climate Strategy, we have committed to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our business by 2050.

We have signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard and have near and long term emissions reduction targets aligned with Climate scientists’ aims to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

Our Roadmap Our Roadmap

Our Roadmap

To reach our rapid reduction targets, we are working hard on:

1. Reducing our direct-responsibility emissions – through direct control of our emissions;

2. Reducing our shared-responsibility emissions – with our partners;

3. Accelerating carbon removal and regeneration to help restore natural ecosystems and absorb emissions.
