Protecting the environment
The Environmental Charter signed by Bernard Arnault in 2001 is a concrete expression of the vision of the LVMH Group of how to integrate
protection of the environment in its businesses:
AIM FOR A HIGH LEVEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
In developing its businesses internationally, LVMH works to align its practices with those that offer the best level of environmental protection
around the world.
FOSTER A COLLECTIVE PURPOSE
The environment is the responsibility of every individual and LVMH believes that the awareness, education and training of its employees
are top priorities. To ensure a continued high level of environmental performance, the Group believes it is vital for each company to set precise
environmental objectives and implement a management system dedicated to this process.
CONTROL ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
In addition to the most stringent compliance with environmental regulations, which is an absolute duty, the Group intends to focus on risk
prevention. As a result, it allocates human and material resources to this goal.
DESIGN LUXURY PRODUCTS BY INTEGRATING ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY
Guided by its overriding concern for high quality, LVMH is working to improve control and better anticipate the environmental aspects related
to the life cycle of its products. LVMH encourages all processes that result in environmental innovations and accepts its duty to exercise
prudence and take precautions to ensure total safety for the consumer.
MAKE COMMITMENTS OUTSIDE THE COMPANY
LVMH intends to contribute to the protection of the environment above and beyond just the aspects directly related to its own businesses.
Because it considers that promoting respect for the environment is essential, LVMH is developing an active partnership with groups
of businesses, local communities and the associations which contribute to this objective.
