L’Oréal selects 13 sustainable start-ups

The beauty giant has selected the first 13 start-ups and SMEs for its sustainable programme ʺL'AcceleratORʺ, backed by €100 m over five years and run in partnership with CISL (University of Cambridge). From nearly 1,000 applications across 101 countries, the winners cover low-carbon packaging (Kelpi, Pulpex), bio-based ingredients (Biosynthis, P2 Science, Oberon Fuels), circular solutions (Novobiom, REPLACE) and data intelligence (Neutreeno). The companies will receive support and benefit from six- to nine-month pilot programmes within the Group's global operations.
