The same responsible logic is driving the Houses to reduce CO2 emissions for shipping products over short distances. Sephora is developing delivery to the last mile to its points of sale by electric trucks. These deliveries, which appeared for the first time in France, were extended to China in 2015, Italy in 2016 and Spain in 2017. In 2018, the House deployed them in North America. A zero emis- sion vehicle now delivers to its points of sale in San Francisco and some of its branches in East Bay. This initiative saves 36 metric tons of CO2 equiv-

alent every year. Sephora s commitment to alter- native transport in 2018 earned it the Loader prize awarded by a manufacturer of social and environ- mental assessment software for transport. It recog- nizes the company s growing use of hybrid vehicles and the very high proportion (98%) of tons/kilome- ters carried by its committed and labeled shippers.

Mobility In addition to the efforts made in the transport of goods, the Houses promote the sustainable mobil- ity of their personnel. They are acquiring hybrid and electric vehicle fleets and installing charging stations. They are providing bike parking areas and establishing shuttle services. They are devel- oping mobility plans and rely on a variety of mech- anisms to encourage their employees to abandon
