L'Oreal USA has pledged to improve its energy intensity by 25 percent over the next 10 years - and its progress will be monitored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through its Better Buildings, Better Plants Program.
L'Oreal USA will share key insights and best practices with the DOE for the greater benefit of manufacturers nationwide. The program includes 160 companies and has generated over $2.4 billion cumulatively in energy cost savings. Members have access to the DOE's energy analytics and experts to identify new opportunities for energy savings.
L'Oreal USA has already implemented several measures to improve its energy consumption, including installing LED lighting in its factories, as well as high-efficiency air compressors and vacuum pumps. The company was awarded the 2015 Star of Energy Efficiency Award, by the Alliance to Save Energy.
Frederic Roze, CEO of L'Oreal Americas, said, L'Oreal USA's commitment to energy-efficient manufacturing practices is ambitious... We are dedicated to pursuing even greater energy savings across all of our facilities which will have a positive environmental impact in the communities in which we live and work, while also benefiting our operations and bottom line."
Dr. Mark Johnson, Director of the Advanced Manufacturing Office in DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy added, "L'Oreal's commitment establishes the company as a leader in industrial energy efficiency and helps advance the nation's progress towards a sustainable clean-energy future."
