LVMH 2015
—
Environment
Clicquot launched Naturally Clicquot 3, the world’s first
100% recyclable paper champagne packaging made from
grapes. Sephora began using electric-powered trucks to
supply its stores in France before doing the same in China,
pioneering the practice at 21 locations in Shanghai.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE HORIZON
We have continued our monitoring e orts to anticipate and
integrate regulatory developments. The Group has closely
followed the impacts of France’s new “energy transition for
green growth” law. We have improved on several tools for
employees, such as Edibox, which is used to incorporate
environmental criteria early in the packaging design stage.
We have also introduced some new tools, including techni-
cal guides on how to limit or even completely phase out the
use of certain chemicals in making our products. LVMH has
enhanced its LED know-how by training and informing
employees and launching the new lvmhlighting.com web-
site, where architects can purchase the best available tech-
nology. We have expanded our sponsorship initiatives,
joining forces with the Paris mayor’s o ce, for example, to
achieve the targets set by the city’s climate and energy plan
and deliver a white paper on the circular economy. Last but
not least, LVMH has remained involved in the national and
international conversation on the environment, giving talks
on biodiversity at several events. The Group is a member of
the international Business for Social Responsibility (BSR)
network. BSR is a world leader in corporate social and envi-
ronmental responsibility, and provides targeted consulting,
research and multi-sector collaboration initiatives focused on
leather production and animal welfare. LVMH is particularly
interested in sustainable procurement, and also participates
in the Responsible Ecosystems Sourcing Platform (RESP).
Since 2012, this platform has brought luxury sector stake-
holders together to develop best practices for sourcing
exotic leather, colored gemstones and wool.

“BVLGARI STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT THE PRESTIGE
AND UNIQUENESS OF ITS PRODUCTS MUST BE REFLECTED
IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBLE
MANUFACTURING AND SOURCING PROCESSES, SUPPORTED
BY A TRANSPARENT SUPPLY CHAIN.
THIS STRONG COMMITMENT IS TRANSLATED AND PUT INTO
PRACTICE, WITH A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PERSPECTIVE,
THROUGH OUR RESPONSIBLE SOURCING STRATEGIES
FOR GOLD, DIAMONDS, COLORED GEMSTONES AND LEATHER,
THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LVMH’S LIFE PROGRAM,
THE ONGOING MANAGEMENT OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH
SUPPLIERS, AND THE DEDICATED SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
AUDIT PROGRAM.”

& LVMH Environmental Coordinator for Italy
