renovation and operation, the Maisons
implement a number of different stand-
ards and certifications, such as HQE
(high environmental quality), BBC (low
consumption building), BREEAM and
LEED, which are tailored to technical
considerations, local regulations and the
various types of use involved. The archi-

CARBON FOOTPRINTS
Taking account of climate change is part
of LVMH policy. Since 2002 the Group
has assessed the Carbon Footprint
of many of its Maisons: Louis Vuitton, Moët
et Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Hennessy,
Parfums Christian Dior, Guerlain,
Parfums Kenzo, Parfums Givenchy,
Givenchy Couture, Make Up For Ever,
DFS, Sephora and Le Bon Marché.
To date, all the Group’s major Maisons
have completed their Footprints and
are working to implement priority initiatives
for the production of packaging,
product shipment and energy consumption
at production sites and in stores.
