LVMH 2015

A HISTORIC SPONSORSHIP INITIATIVE:
LVMH TEAMS UP WITH COP21
LVMH was a sponsor of COP21, the 21st United Nations
conference on climate change, chaired by France and held
in Paris at the end of 2015. As both an engaged corporate
citizen and a symbol of French art de vivre, LVMH was keen
to take an active role in this historic international gathering.
COP21, which ended with the signing of the Paris climate
agreement, was an opportunity for LVMH to reaffirm its
commitment to helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A few weeks before the conference began, we announced the
creation of an internal carbon funding program. Throughout
the event, we sent our employees information on each of our
climate initiatives, with a special emphasis on transportation
– a critical sector for carbon emissions, in which LVMH has
already obtained excellent results with the active cooperation
of all of its partners. A talk at the COP21 venue highlighted
many such initiatives, such as Louis Vuitton’s ISO 14001 envi-
ronmental certifi cation for its Leather Goods and Accessories
supply chain, the cutback on air freight by LVMH Fragrance
Brands, and the use of electric vehicles by Guerlain and
Sephora to make green deliveries.
COP21 was also a high point for the involvement of LVMH
employees in environmental issues. Five newsletters were sent
to 70,000 employees over the course of the event, in which
LVMH covered the full range of environmental progress
made over the past several years and o ered an analysis of
conference breakthroughs.
