Paris Agreement: 10 Years on, Clarins continues its ambitious decarbonization path

Commitments
On the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, we reaffirm our commitment to decarbonization, a central pillar of our CSR strategy. Today, our concrete actions encourage us to continue and accelerate our transition toward a positive-impact business model.

A structured strategy and significant progress

We were among the first beauty brands to calculate our carbon footprint as early as 2007. For several years, we have been pursuing a voluntary decarbonization strategy and continue to reduce emissions across our entire value chain:

  • –43% emissions between 2019 and 2024 (Scopes 1, 2, and 3, excluding financial services);
  • Reduction pathway validated by SBTi in March 2025, targeting –5% emissions per year across all scopes to achieve –30% by 2030 ;
  • 100% of our French sites powered by renewable electricity since 2016 ;
  • 100% of our subsidiaries covering their electricity consumption by supporting renewable energy production since 2020 ;
  • Less than 2% of freight transported by air, with maritime and land transport as the standard ;
  • Partnership signed in 2025 with Neoline, a pioneer in wind-propelled maritime transport, to further reduce the carbon footprint of our international logistics;
  • Deployment of regenerative agriculture practices across our two agricultural estates in France to restore and enrich soils, enhance biodiversity, and increase natural carbon storage, with the goal that by 2030, one-third of the plants used by Clarins will be cultivated according to this model.

Recognition and strengthened ambition

Receiving the B Corp™ certification in 2025 confirms the depth of our commitments, particularly our ambitious climate pathway, and reinforces our continuous improvement dynamic.

As Virginie Courtin, our General Director emphasizes:
“Decarbonizing our business is a crucial challenge, and we approach it with the highest level of rigor. Our trajectory is ambitious, disciplined, and vital—for our teams, our customers, and above all, for future generations.”

A Clear goal: making beauty a force for positive impact

True to our purpose, “Making life more beautiful, passing on a more beautiful world,” we will continue and strengthen our decarbonization efforts in the coming years, mobilizing our entire value chain and partners to make beauty a true force for positive impact.

By 2030, we aim to align all our key suppliers with this ambition, engaging them to measure and reduce their own emissions across all three scopes.
