From measurement to resilience: Rethinking water footprint with L’Oréal

How L’Oréal and Quantis rethought water footprint to improve risk assessment and plan resilience of value chains.

17 November 2026

Water is an increasingly stressed resource, yet most assessments fail to capture the full picture across the value chain. To move from measurement to action, L’Oréal and Quantis have co-developed a refined water footprint methodology that integrates impacts and dependencies, from raw materials through to product use. 

By accounting for both green and blue water, and by distinguishing direct, actionable levers from indirect pressures, this holistic approach enables clearer prioritization, stronger value chain engagement and more informed strategic decisions, particularly in water-stressed markets. 

Join us to hear why L’Oréal embarked on this work, how the approach was built, and how it extends into water risk analysis and resilience planning.
