Supply chain energy data: No

Supplier lists published: No. Subject of investigations for brands Loro Piana and Dior in 2024.

Training, feasibility studies, and non-financial support for climate action
Yes through own program. Seems to be in early stages. Through Life 360 strategy, it says: This program aims to support suppliers and partners
in various aspects of their policies and environmental programs, especially with reducing their carbon emissions and also their impact
on water and biodiversity. Sustainability Business Partner Days
are organized as part of the initiative to kickstart
conversations between the Group and its suppliers. No numbers available yet.

Responsible/equitable buying to enable climate action
Purchasing decisions incentivize climate action: Partial. Has an integrated supplier evaluation, evaluation includes environmental protection. Environmental clauses are included in all suppliers’ contracts.

Equitable/long-term sourcing to enable climate action: Not said explicitly.

Prices enable climate action: Not said explicitly. Brand told Stand.earth that it is supporting suppliers by supportive pricing (premium paid for certified raw materials), long-term agreement (3 to 5 years), project financing (new equipment, …)

Climate Adaptation
Adaptation/worker just transition training funded or provided: Adaptation training provided through LIFE360 strategy support.

Emergency support developed with local groups: No

Decarbonization Progress

Commitment to phase out fossil fuel-derived fibers
All targets on materials are for 2026 and are focused on certifications for each fibre. Company communicated 24% of synthetic fibers are recycled.

Deforestation-free materials
Leather: Yes. 2025 goal aims for zero deforestation and conservation of natural ecosystems. 2026 goal is for net zero deforestation in supply chains and certify 100% materials 2030 and onwards focusing on regeneration. Uses LWG tanneries. Since 2021, the Group has banned any skin sourcing from the Amazon basin and has asked tanners not to accept any hides sourced from this region.

Man-made Cellulosic Fibers: Company does not mention MMCF in report and online.

Low-carbon materials
Yes. For instance, Weturn offers a service 100% dedicated to textile recycling, enabling major fashion Maisons, textile professionals and manufacturers to recycle their stocks, production offcuts, and products protected by intellectual property into new yarns and fabrics. Could do more to support general industry infrastructure, as opposed to just the company’s maisons. In France, LVMH and its Maisons use the CEDRE recovery and recycling facility to handle all the materials and products generated by the manufacturing, packaging, distribution and sale of products

Increasing Circularity
LVMH engages in different circularity efforts. For instance, working with Weturn for textile recycling, enabling its maisons, to recycle their stocks, production offcuts, and products protected by intellectual property into new yarns and fabrics. Specific houses have different initiatives, including Fendi’s partnership with Reverso to recycle materials like wool and put it back into the supply chain.

The luxury company aims for 100% certified cotton by 2026, which includes GOTS, Better Cotton, GRS, OCS and Supima, reporting 75% progress as of 2023.
The company is also part of a partnership with Circular Bioeconomy Alliance to support farmers in the transition towards regenerative cotton.

Target & increase recycled cotton
100% certified cotton by 2026. Includes GOTS, Better Cotton, Global Recycled Standard, Organic Content Standard and Supima. Reports 75% as of 2023.

100% recycled/organic/regen cotton + wool, report on progress
100% certified cotton by 2026. Includes GOTS, Better Cotton, GRS, OCS and Supima. Reports 75% as of 2023.

Support farmers, transition to regen/organic farming
Yes – from 2023 Partnership with Circular Bioeconomy Alliance (CBA), formalized in November 2022 at COP 27 in Egypt: More than 500 farmers identified and trained in two regions around Lake Chad.
12 hectares reserved to act as a laboratory and training center.
A 0.5-hectare tree nursery launched to supply the plants that farmers need.
The first regenerative cotton harvests will take place in 2024. The aim is to integrate this production into the supply chains of the Group’s Maisons.
LVMH is also implementing and supporting French bovine farmers with the implementation of the French “label Bas Carbone” linked to regenerative agriculture practices.

LVMH has an intensity based Scope 3 emissions target which includes category 4. Has a goal to reduce GHG emissions related to transportation by 20% in 2030 compared to 2019. Reported a decrease in emissions associated with its fashion and leather goods business to 2023, but does not provide a breakdown of transport modes.

Action to reduce the impact of marine shipping: Unclear on fashion specifically. Hennessy has partnered with Neoline to transport 4 million bottles annually to the U.S. via a sail-powered cargo ship starting in 2025. Several Maisons are optimizing supply chains to cut emissions, with Guerlain shifting more transport to sea, avoiding 8,000 metric tons of CO₂ in 2023 through reverse logistics planning.

No commitments or action to promote a shift to zero emission vessels by 2030.

No strong direct examples, especially in the Global South.The company has a Responsible Lobbying Charter.
