ShanghaiJune 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On June 10, the fourth Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Technology, Products, and Achievements Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Carbon Expo) was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. L’Oréal participated for the fourth consecutive year under the theme “Beauty that Moves, Action for the Planet,” and presented the “Tomorrow’s Partner” Carbon Reduction Pioneer Awards on-site, recognizing green benchmark enterprises across the supply chain. Among them, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass and Jisuo Industrial were selected as representatives in the fields of glass packaging and mask base materials, respectively. From hard packaging materials to flexible skincare base materials, these different tracks collectively demonstrate the synergistic value of L’Oréal driving decarbonization across the entire supply chain.
SGD Saint-Gobain Glass: Deepening Glass Packaging, Committing to Net Zero with Clean Energy
The production of glass packaging requires high-temperature melting, making it one of the more energy-intensive links in the beauty supply chain. As a leading global glass packaging manufacturer, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass, guided and inspired by L’Oréal’s “L’Oréal for the Future” sustainability vision, has deeply integrated green and low-carbon concepts into the entire process of product design and production, steadily advancing the net-zero transformation of its factories.
Leveraging continuous investment in its Zhanjiang production base, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass promotes energy conservation and emission reduction from multiple dimensions, including energy structure, production processes, and circular design: accelerating the large-scale application of clean energy, continuously upgrading production line energy-saving technologies, and embedding the 3R green principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle throughout product design and manufacturing, thereby reducing the environmental impact of the product’s entire lifecycle from the source.
With solid actions and transparent disclosures, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass retained the EcoVadis Platinum rating in 2025, ranking in the top 1% globally, and was also included in the CDP Climate Change A List, becoming a benchmark enterprise for sustainable development in the glass packaging sector. The company’s decarbonization targets and pathways have been certified by the SBTi Science Based Targets initiative: based on 2022 levels, it aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% and Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030; and further reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 65% by 2040.
In its long-term partnership with L’Oréal, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass has always closely followed the company’s sustainability pace, fully supporting the construction of L’Oréal’s green supply chain. From optimizing the energy structure to improving the carbon management system, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass’s Zhanjiang factory is steadily moving toward its net-zero target, providing a replicable carbon reduction model for the beauty glass packaging industry.
Jisuo Industrial: Establishing an Industry Carbon Reduction Model
Unlike SGD Saint-Gobain Glass, Jisuo Industrial focuses on the niche field of mask base materials. As a strategic partner of L’Oréal, Shanghai Jisuo Industrial has been deeply involved in the field of high-end, environmentally friendly, biodegradable mask fabrics for nearly two decades. Its workshops are built to GMP standards with a cleanliness level of 100,000, making it a key strategic partner for L’Oréal in the skincare base materials sector. L’Oréal’s actively promoted low-carbon development philosophy and supply chain decarbonization strategy have had a profound impact on Jisuo’s establishment of a systematic carbon footprint management system and comprehensive promotion of decarbonization actions, serving as a significant driving force for the company’s green transformation.
The story embeds green genes from architectural design to all aspects of production operations: not only building clean production workshops to GMP standards but also eliminating high-energy-consumption equipment through technological upgrades such as building energy efficiency, wind and solar power, and smart warehousing, completing a comprehensive green upgrade from hardware to software.
Collaborative Co-creation: Making Green the Common Foundation of the Beauty Industry Chain
When discussing their cooperation with L’Oréal, both companies stated that L’Oréal is not just a client making demands, but also a guide and companion on the path to supply chain decarbonization—helping suppliers build future-oriented low-carbon competitiveness through clear strategic goals, mature methodologies, and continuous resource support, while also allowing the effects of carbon reduction to cascade down the industry chain.
From the glass furnaces in Zhanjiang to the mask fabric workshops in Shanghai, from EcoVadis Platinum to carbon neutrality certification, SGD Saint-Gobain Glass and Jisuo Industrial are proving through action that the green transformation of the beauty supply chain is not a solo effort by one company, but a long-term race led by standards and driven by partner co-creation. As more “Tomorrow’s Partners” join in, sustainability is no longer a distant goal, but a present reality where every step counts.
