ELLESVMH
LVMH continually reaffirms a commitment to diverse teams, reflecting the reality of its businesses and creating an invaluable source of performance. This commitment to diversity inspired the creation of the EllesVMH initiative in 2007.
With EllesVMH, the Group initiative for Gender Equity, LVMH encourages the professional development of women through a variety of actions.

PROFESSIONAL EQUALITY INDEX
In 2023, based on the results of the consolidated LVMH companies in France that employ more than 50 people, the Group achieved a Gender Equality Index score of 93.3/100. The Group uses the French government’s Gender Equality Index to assess pay inequalities between male and female employees. The score is based on five criteria: wage gaps, pay rise differences, promotion discrepancies, the percentage of employees given a pay rise on returning from maternity leave, and the number of women in the top 10 highest-paying jobs.
LVMH is a signatory of the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEP).
