e.l.f. Beauty committed to sourcing 50% clean electricity across its brands' direct manufacturing suppliers by 2032, building on its existing commitment to 100% clean electricity for leased facilities.
The company launched a Supplier Clean Electricity Program and will purchase and retire one additional megawatt-hour of Energy Attribute Certificates for every megawatt-hour of clean electricity suppliers use to produce e.l.f. Beauty brands' products.
Clean electricity use among direct manufacturing suppliers grew from 2% in FY 2023 to 14% today; supplier electricity accounts for 11% of the company's total greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3) in FY 2026.
e.l.f. Beauty today announced a commitment by its brands to source 50% clean electricity across their manufacturing suppliers by 2032, building on their ongoing commitment to source 100% clean electricity for their leased facilities.
Use of clean electricity across e.l.f. Beauty brands’ direct manufacturing suppliers has grown from 2% in fiscal year 2023 to 14% today, driven by supplier investments in on-site solar, green tariffs, physical Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and Energy Attribute Certificates. Building on that momentum, the company's new target further advances the clean electricity progress already underway.
To support this transition, e.l.f. Beauty is launching its Supplier Clean Electricity Program, encouraging its brands’ manufacturing suppliers to prioritize direct sources of clean electricity.
To amplify the program's impact, e.l.f. Beauty will purchase and retire one additional megawatt-hour of Energy Attribute Certificates for every one megawatt-hour of clean electricity suppliers use to produce e.l.f. Beauty brands’ products. This investment in clean electricity demonstrates a shared commitment between the e.l.f. Beauty brands and their suppliers.
Electricity consumption by direct manufacturing suppliers accounts for a meaningful portion of e.l.f. Beauty’s Scope 3 emissions, representing 11% of the company’s total greenhouse gas emissions in FY 2026.
“Clean electricity is one of our biggest levers to help cut Scope 3 emissions, and we've already seen what's possible — growing from 2% to 14% in just a few years. Our Supplier Clean Electricity Program pairs direct investment with hands-on collaboration, so clean electricity becomes an achievable reality for our manufacturing partners, not just an aspiration. As far as we know, e.l.f. Beauty is the first major beauty company to pair a supplier clean-electricity target with an annual clean-electricity commitment of its own” said Ellen Leung, VP of Transformation and Sustainability at e.l.f. Beauty.
