Our commitment

FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

The LVMH Group is using the power of its influence to galvanize the luxury industry through concrete actions and to drive far-reaching changes to help protect ecosystems. To combine sustainability and desirability, in 2020 LVMH launched LIFE 360 (LVMH Initiatives for the Environment), an action program based on quantified objectives for 2023, 2026 and 2030. It has four strategic pillars: creative circularity, biodiversity, climate, traceability and transparency.

LVMH is part of a process of continuous progress: A Water strategy adapted to the Group's businesses and an action program dedicated to supporting its suppliers have rounded out LIFE 360 since 2023. A reporting system organized by the Group's 75 Maisons makes it possible to report on the progress of these objectives, and structures LVMH’s responses to the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). An approach facilitated by a network of nearly 200 environmental correspondents within the Maisons.

OUR STRATEGIC PILLARS

EXPANDING CIRCULAR DESIGN
To meet the LIFE 360 program’s objectives for circular design, the Group and its Maisons are introducing sustainability services — repair, refill and repurposing through second-life programs — and enhancing the ecodesign of their products and packaging. LVMH is continually upgrading its existing materials and inventing new sustainable ones.
PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY
The Group’s essential raw materials come from nature. So LVMH is seeking to identify and manage its impact on the environment more effectively. It is adopting commitments for protecting resources, regenerating ecosystems and raising awareness among both employees and the general public through education. The Group supports the introduction of regenerative agriculture and programs for preserving at-risk ecosystems, through partnerships with other organizations.
TAKING ACTION FOR THE CLIMATE
The Group’s path to decarbonization is based on operational action plans for reducing its emissions. In that spirit, LVMH and its Maisons are speeding decarbonization at its sites and stores via an energy efficiency policy and the deployment of renewable energy. The Group has also defined priorities and action plans for reducing its Scope 3 emissions, which account for 96% of its carbon footprint.
GUARANTEEING RESPONSIBLE AND TRANSPARENT VALUE CHAINS
To strengthen traceability in its supply chains, the Group relies on its policy of certification of strategic sectors, cooperation with its suppliers and participants in the luxury industry, and innovative traceability tools. To meet the growing demand for transparency, the Group participates in environmental labeling initiatives.

“All of our products come from nature: This awareness, this interaction with nature, with biodiversity, constitutes the common thread of our LIFE 360 action plan. Biodiversity, water, climate — it’s all connected.”

LIFE ACADEMY: TRAIN TO TRANSFORM

To achieve the LIFE360 target of providing environmental training to all its employees by 2026, LVMH has set about raising awareness and teaching them the importance of looking after natural resources, conserving biodiversity and preventing climate change. In 2023, the Group designed environmental training courses tailored to the specific nature of each of its various businesses. To make this broader commitment possible, LVMH created the LIFE Academy educational hub to provide a range of training in both general and more specialized environmental topics. On each topic, the LIFE Academy equips employees with the skills needed to lead that transformation, with the aim of spurring the workforce to action.
