Excellence goes beyond creativity
At LVMH, excellence has always gone hand in hand with responsibility, mutually nourishing a virtuous circle. That is why we have since our founding purposefully chosen to make social, environmental and cultural considerations an integral part of what we do. Not because of regulatory requirements, but to hold ourselves to even higher standards, just as we always strive to excel in our creative endeavors. This deeply held belief has proved its value and has been forged over time in the face of economic and geopolitical turbulence that has never called into question our focus. Quite the contrary, this broader commitment considerably bolsters the Group's financial solidity and operational efficiency, as well as the positive impact it creates in the communities in which it is present. Loro Piana's "Resilient Threads" program is a prime example of this. By helping to preserve ecosystems and the well-being of livestock farmers in Mongolia, the initiative ensures the flawless quality of the cashmere that is synonymous with the Maison's excellence. At LVMH, we apply exacting standards to everything we do, not simply to the finished product.
This dynamic results from strategic decisions that have defined our trajectory, and from which we have never deviated. In 2025, these sustained efforts allowed us to achieve the objectives set out in our 2020-2025 corporate social responsibility roadmap, underscoring our unwavering belief that sustainable performance is built with and for the people of this Group. With half of all key positions now held by women, we have done far more than simply achieve a target set for 2025. We have proved our ability to eliminate obstacles - both visible and invisible - that can hinder individual career development. Because at LVMH, puMing people at the heart of our performance means giving everyone the opportunity to build the career matched to their aspirations. Internal mobility provides one of the most salient markers of this commitment, with over 19,000 employees changing jobs within the Group in 2025. Moreover, our ambition reaches far beyond the Group. For example, the LVMH Métiers d'Excellence job fair promoting opportunities in creation, craft, and client experience, aMracted over 10,000 visitors in France and Italy. This initiative seeks to help young people and those interested in changing careers find their vocation. The LIVE - L'Institut des Vocations pour l'Emploi - program has enjoyed similar
momentum. Developed for people seeking to return to the workforce after a sustained period of unemployment, it epitomizes the Group's deeply held conviction that by reaching out, it can bring about genuine and positive change in the lives of others.
This collective commitment enables us to address environmental considerations with a level of ambition that matches the urgency of the situation. We also took our LIFE 360 strategy to an ambitious new level in 2025. By integrating it at every stage of our operations, this strategy is reinventing the way we work, safeguarding our supply chains and embedding circu-larity at the heart of what we do. Indeed, 41% of the materials used by our Maisons now come from recycled sources, our scope 1 and 2 emissions have been scaled back 37%, while scope 3 emissions generated by industrial processes are down 16% compared with 2023. Growth and carbon footprint have been now decoupled at LVMH. This trajectory also encompasses biodiversity. Our partnership with UNESCO to preserve the Amazon rainforest - recently extended for a further five years - reflects our belief that certain challenges require a long-term commitment. The achievement of such impressive results is in no small part down to the pioneering training programs open to our employees and suppliers, as well as the exacting approach we apply to tracking the impact of our efforts. Our high standards were recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project, which awarded LVMH a Triple A.
Art and culture add another important dimension to our actions, the impact of which can perhaps only truly be measured by the heart… LVMH is by its very nature a cultural group, inspired by creativity and emotion. We have always sought to bridge the space between heritage and modernity, as we again demonstrated in 2025, through our continued contribution to the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris, or our support for the talent of tomorrow via the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. We also strive to make art accessible to the public at large; the David Hockney retrospective held at the Fondation Louis VuiMon aMracted over 900,000 visitors. Art prompts us to continually challenge our mindset, stay in tune with emerging sentiments, and confront entrenched beliefs to inject fresh energy. It spurs us to reinvent ourselves and transform, without ever losing sight of the idea that lasting performance is built through responsible choices.
