攜手供應商應對氣候挑戰：歐萊雅加速推動綠色轉型

歐萊雅（L’Oréal）宣布將通過旗下蘇黎世基金（Solstice Fund）進一步深化其永續發展努力，聚焦供應鏈全面脫碳及供應商合作。這一舉措建立在其2020年啟動的「為未來的歐萊雅」（L’Oréal for the Future）計畫基礎之上，致力於推動包括原材料採購、製造和包裝等全價值鏈環節的減碳目標。

L’Oréal announced that it will further deepen its sustainable development efforts through its Solstice Fund, focusing on comprehensive decarbonization of the supply chain and supplier cooperation. This initiative builds on the “L’Oréal for the Future” plan launched in 2020 and is committed to promoting carbon reduction goals in the entire value chain, including raw material procurement, manufacturing and packaging.

推動綠色科學與減碳目標

歐萊雅透過「綠色科學轉型計畫」（Green Sciences Transition Program），專注於原材料的永續採購，確保供應鏈各環節都能符合環境保護標準。該計畫旨在利用創新科技與永續方法，打造綠色、可持續的產品和生產過程。

Promote green science and carbon reduction goals

Through the "Green Sciences Transition Program", L'Oréal focuses on the sustainable procurement of raw materials to ensure that all aspects of the supply chain meet environmental protection standards. The plan aims to use innovative technologies and sustainable methods to create green and sustainable products and production processes.

According to the latest climate transition plan, L'Oréal's Scope 3 emissions account for the vast majority of the company's carbon footprint, mainly from supplier activities. To address this challenge, L’Oréal has committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 28% by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline, an important step towards decarbonizing its entire value chain.

根據最新的氣候轉型計畫，歐萊雅範疇3（Scope 3）排放占公司碳足跡的絕大部分，主要來源於供應商活動。為應對這一挑戰，歐萊雅承諾到2030年，與2019年基準相比，減少28%的範疇3排放，這是其實現全價值鏈脫碳的重要一步。

「我們深知供應鏈對於減少碳排放的關鍵作用，因此我們希望通過提供支持和指導，幫助供應商共同邁向永續發展。」歐萊雅氣候策略團隊表示。

"We are well aware of the critical role of the supply chain in reducing carbon emissions, so we hope to help suppliers move towards sustainable development together by providing support and guidance." said L'Oréal's climate strategy team.

Supplier cooperation and transparent support

To drive decarbonization, L’Oréal is actively supporting its suppliers to help them understand the impacts of climate change and promote the adoption of carbon reduction strategies. The company plans to work with suppliers to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and help identify key drivers of industry decarbonization.

供應商合作與透明化支持

為推動脫碳進程，歐萊雅正積極為供應商提供支持，幫助其理解氣候變化的影響，並推動其採用減碳策略。該公司計畫與供應商攜手減少範疇1、範疇2及範疇3的排放，並協助識別行業脫碳的關鍵驅動因素。

此外，歐萊雅還將加強供應商在產品碳排放透明度和追蹤方面的能力，確保相關目標的有效執行。公司將提供專業培訓，幫助供應商建立適應氣候目標的基礎設施，並強化數據報告的準確性與即時性。

應對資金挑戰，支持脫碳化創新

在減碳目標的推進中，資金挑戰是供應商面臨的主要障礙之一。歐萊雅計畫運用創新的合作融資工具，幫助供應商克服資金難題。例如，公司將探索與金融機構的合作，為供應商提供低息貸款和其他融資選項，支持其完成必要的基礎設施升級與技術轉型。

In addition, L'Oréal will also strengthen suppliers' capabilities in product carbon emission transparency and tracking to ensure the effective implementation of relevant goals. The company will provide professional training to help suppliers establish infrastructure to adapt to climate goals and enhance the accuracy and timeliness of data reporting.

Addressing funding challenges and supporting decarbonization innovation

Financing challenges are one of the main obstacles suppliers face in advancing carbon reduction targets. L'Oréal plans to use innovative cooperative financing tools to help suppliers overcome funding difficulties. For example, the company will explore cooperation with financial institutions to provide low-interest loans and other financing options to suppliers to support them in completing necessary infrastructure upgrades and technological transformations.

Similar cooperation models have been used in other industries and have proven to be effective. In 2023, retail giant H&M joined hands with Singaporean bank DBS to launch the "Future Supplier Initiative" to help suppliers obtain infrastructure investment loans. L'Oréal hopes to provide more feasible solutions for supply chain decarbonization through similar models.

類似的合作模式已在其他行業中得到應用，並證明其效果。2023年，零售巨頭H&M攜手新加坡銀行DBS推出「未來供應商倡議」（Future Supplier Initiative），幫助供應商獲得基礎設施投資貸款。歐萊雅希望通過類似模式，為供應鏈脫碳提供更多可行方案。

引領永續發展新典範

Leading a new paradigm of sustainable development

作為全球化妝品行業的領導者，歐萊雅不僅致力於內部減碳，還希望成為行業間合作的典範。未來，公司將繼續深化與供應商的合作關係，推動更多創新型脫碳解決方案的落地，並加大投資於綠色技術與創新。

As a leader in the global cosmetics industry, L'Oréal is not only committed to reducing carbon internally, but also hopes to become a model of inter-industry cooperation. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its cooperative relationships with suppliers, promote the implementation of more innovative decarbonization solutions, and increase investment in green technology and innovation.

歐萊雅的努力不僅旨在降低碳足跡，還致力於實現綠色經濟的全面轉型，為全球環境和社會創造更大的價值。

L'Oréal's efforts not only aim to reduce its carbon footprint, but also strive to achieve a comprehensive transformation of the green economy and create greater value for the global environment and society.

思享永續顧問服務公司的張滙苡顧問對於歐萊雅的聲明表達看法，她表示歐萊雅作為全球知名的化妝品、保養品企業，其提出的計畫可以成為其他同類型企業的參考，引起正向的競爭與合作。近幾年許多消費者的環保意識漸高，保護環境的綠色商品成為是否購買產品的一大原因。 雖然目前市場上若要選擇使用永續技術的產品，價格可能會比其他商品高，但隨著綠色消費意識的普及，以及消費習慣的改變，綠色產品的商機在未來可能會越來越高。同時對品牌的社會責任提出更高期待。這種改變不僅影響消費選擇，更可能對台灣整體市場的永續發展產生深遠影響。

Zhang Huiyi, a consultant from Scienjoy Sustainability Consulting Services, expressed her views on L'Oreal's statement. She said that as a world-renowned cosmetics and skin care products company, the plan proposed by L'Oreal can become a reference for other companies of the same type and trigger positive competition and cooperation. In recent years, many consumers have become increasingly aware of environmental protection, and green products that protect the environment have become a major reason for purchasing products. Although the price of products using sustainable technology may be higher than other products currently on the market, with the popularity of green consumption awareness and changes in consumption habits, the business opportunities for green products may become higher and higher in the future. At the same time, it raises higher expectations for the brand’s social responsibility. This change not only affects consumer choices, but may also have a profound impact on the sustainable development of Taiwan's overall market.
