A FRAMEWORK FOR ACTION
In 2001, we formalized LVMH’s commitment to the environment in an
Environmental Charter. On behalf of our 120,000 employees, we pledged
in writing to pursue environmental excellence by inspiring shared commitment
and taking action in the wider world. We followed up this founding document
with two internal codes of conduct, one for suppliers in 2008 and one for
all our employees in 2009. Meanwhile, LVMH made several international
commitments including joining the United Nations Global Compact in 2003
and endorsing Gordon Brown’s Millennium Development Goals in 2007.
In France, LVMH is also a selected participant in the government’s 2011-2020
National Biodiversity Strategy. Taken together, these commitments form
the framework for every environmental action undertaken by the LVMH Group
and its Maisons.
