L'Oréal Allocates Additional EUR 20 Million to Climate Crisis Fund

L'Oréal announced that it will provide an additional EUR 20 million to the Climate Crisis Fund to strengthen the resilience of communities most affected by climate change. The company aims to expand the scope of projects conducted under the fund in the areas of health, clean water, food security and disaster preparedness.

At a time when the social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change are increasing, L'Oréal has strengthened its commitment to the Climate Crisis Fund. With an additional EUR 20 million in financing to be provided by 2030, the company will support projects aimed at enhancing the resilience of vulnerable communities against the climate crisis.

Since its launch in 2023, the fund has supported more than 30 projects in 32 countries. With the new financing, L'Oréal aims to scale up models that have demonstrated successful results in field implementation and contribute to reducing disaster risks and strengthening emergency response capacity.

Climate-Related Disasters on the Rise
According to data shared by the company, 358 natural disasters worldwide in 2025 affected more than 110 million people. Approximately 85% of these disasters are attributed to climate change.

L'Oréal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus noted in his assessment that the climate crisis is not only an environmental but also a humanitarian issue, stating that the company continues its efforts to build community resilience.

L'Oréal Director of Corporate Responsibility Ezgi Barcenas highlighted that climate change has serious impacts on health, water resources, food security and livelihoods, emphasizing the growing importance of resilience-focused investments.

Local Projects, Global Impact

In India, a heat insurance program covering 50,000 women working in the informal sector is being implemented through a partnership with HERA and the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA).

In Peru and Ecuador, an artificial intelligence-enabled early warning system developed in partnership with World Vision France aims to increase disaster preparedness capacity of communities in the Amazon region against floods and other climate risks.

In Kenya, a project implemented in partnership with Slum Dwellers International includes psychosocial support and mental health resilience programs for young people living in Nairobi.
