Sharing our commitment:

A more sustainable world is a no-brainer when travel is part of your DNA and is a necessary vision when you talk the language of luxury. A more sustainable world is an ambition we are working towards through four commitments central to our métiers.

Creating and designing for the long haul

Our products are designed to be handed down from generation to generation. This belief guides us at every stage from creation through the choice of materials to manufacture. Therefore, 40% of our creative teams are trained in sustainable design. Our workshops are certified compliant with ISO14001 and our facilities, like the ones at Marsaz and Eole, have been built in accordance with the most demanding High Quality Environmental and LEED eco-construction standards.

Protecting biodiversity

We understand the need to respect nature in order to protect and conserve the top-quality natural materials we use in our products. To achieve that, we target the most demanding environmental standards, such as Leather Working Group certification for our tanneries, and Forest Stewardship Council certification for the paper we source for our packaging.

Taking action on climate change

At Louis Vuitton, half of our CO2 emissions are generated by our consumption of energy. And 80% of that impact originates with our stores. Over the past 15 years, we’ve reduced this impact by 12% by making adventurous lighting choices. To ship our products, we’re piloting an ambitious continuous improvement program that ranges from appointing committed transportation providers to reducing our packaging, and selecting low-emission vehicle fleets.

Asserting our identity as a responsible business

High environmental and social performance are central concerns for Louis Vuitton. That's why we focus on optimisation, the circular economy and recycling when selecting materials. To make sure that nothing is wasted and everything is used. We also make donations that encourage and promote reemployment by non-profit organisations in the social and solidarity economy, and channel the profits made from recycling our metal components to in-house environmental projects to create a virtuous circle.
