Commitments
PERFORMANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY:
A BUSINESS MODEL IN THE SERVICE
OF EXCELLENCE
—
Forged over generations by alliances between
Maisons – weaving together their traditions of
excellence and creative passion – LVMH has built
its leading position on a unique portfolio of iconic
brands. These Maisons derive their energy from
their exceptional heritage, innovative mindset,
and receptive outlook. The Group supports their
development in a spirit of entrepreneurship,
long-term vision, and respect for the source of
their strength and uniqueness.
As ambassadors of an authentic art de vivre, it
is our responsibility to set the right example
in every aspect of our business, from product
design to the experience that customers have
throughout their relationships with our brands;
from investment choices to social and environ-
mental initiatives. Because what we do requires
a diverse range of talent, we are committed to
training teams that embody excellence. Because
passing on skills is an integral part of our culture,
we want to use that to promote social inclusion
and employment. Because our crafts make the
most of nature at its purest and most beautiful,
we see preserving the environment as a strate-
gic imperative.
The values and actions encompassed by our
sustainable development attitude emerge from
a tradition that dates back to the origins of our
Maisons and forms an integral part of our herit-
age. Our long-term success depends not only on
the Group’s solid business model and profi table
growth strategy, but also on our unwavering
commitment to creativity, excellence and sustain-
ability in all of our development and corporate
citizenship goals.
HUMAN RESOURCES POLICY To encour-
age all our employees to reach their full career
potential and achieve their aspirations, to develop
diversity and the wealth of human resources
at our companies in all the countries where we
operate, and encourage initiatives in these areas.
Outside our own company, to contribute to the
knowledge and preservation of our crafts and
our know-how as artisans and designers.
ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE To combine
economic growth, sustainability and commit-
ments to creativity and excellence. To apply our
creative passion to the art de vivre to which our
customers aspire. To strengthen our position
as a global leader, and to be the benchmark in
the management and development of high-
quality brands.
ENVIRONMENT To work together to
preserve the planet’s resources, to design and
develop products that are compatible with
environmental concerns, to report on our poli-
cies and projects and the progress achieved in
meeting our objectives. To contribute to envi-
ronmental protection above and beyond the
factors directly related to our operations, by
entering into active partnerships with cooper-
ating business groups, local authorities and
associations.
CITIZENSHIP To implement a patron-
age program for the widest possible public
benefi t, the components of which refl ect and
transmit our fundamental values. To provide
active support for major causes, humanitarian
projects and public health programs, and develop
initiatives in support of art and young people.
