Acting on Climate Change

Environmental Transition

As part of our Regeneration 2030 roadmap, the environmental transition adopts a holistic approach across climate and biodiversity, while elevating water as a new strategic focus, integrating these priorities throughout the value chain and in collaboration with a broad network of partners.

Environmental Transition
[ en-vahy-ruhn-men-tltran-zi-shuhn ] noun.

A paradigm shift in humanity’s relationship with nature, moving beyond preservation toward regenerating ecosystems, restoring climate stability and protecting water resources through collective action for present and future generations.

Climate

We commit to reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain. Louis Vuitton’s decarbonization trajectory contributes to LVMH’s global climate trajectory, aligned with the Paris Agreement and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We take responsibility for our full carbon footprint — across all activities worldwide and scopes 1, 2, and 3 — with a holistic transition plan spanning from raw materials to stores.

Objective by 2030:
-68% CO₂ emissions from our sites (Scopes 1 & 2, vs 2023)

Biodiversity

Recognizing that preservation alone is no longer sufficient, we commit to supporting ecosystem regeneration through biodiversity programs such as our partnership with People For Wildlife and by developing supply chains for strategic natural raw materials sourced from regenerative agriculture and free from deforestation. In 2023, the House launched a program to progressively integrate leather from regenerative agriculture, while advancing dedicated supply chains for regenerative cotton, wool, and perfumery beet alcohol.

Objective by 2030:
1 million hectares of flora and fauna habitat restored or preserved.

Water

Given growing pressure on water resources in many regions, Louis Vuitton commits to reducing water consumption and improving water quality across its value chain. The House focuses on increasing water efficiency quality in its operations, while working with partners to strengthen water resilience across its supply chain and support local water cycles in vulnerable regions.

Objectives by 2030:
-30% reduced water consumption across our sites (vs 2019).
100% of our sites implement a sustainable water management program.

Louis Vuitton & People For Wildlife

In 2023 we joined forces with the conservation charity People For Wildlife in a 5-year environmental partnership to maintain and rehabilitate biodiversity in a 400,000-hectare area in Northeastern Australia.

Our Best Practices

Climate Contribution
Beyond our 'Less & Better Energy' program, leather goods workshops worldwide have supported local climate projects to offset residual energy emissions since 2020. For example, in France, a partnership with FCAA (France Carbon Agri) supports Low Carbon Label–certified initiatives such as farm energy transitions and reforestation, will avoid 3,067 tCO₂e.
Olympe
Winner of the 2025 Bronze LVMH LIFE 360 Award, the Olympe initiative reduces CO₂ emissions by transforming upstream logistics. A centralized hub model replaces fragmented supply routes, streamlining deliveries to production sites. The project has already reduced raw material scrap and stock by 30% and expanded the use of electric and biofuel trucks.
Regenerative Bovine Breeding Project
Winner of the 2025 Gold LVMH LIFE 360 Award, this initiative supports the transition of the leather supply chain to regenerative agriculture by 2030. In absence of an exisitng standard, a dedicated framework was created with external experts to evaluate farm practices, soil health, biodiversity and animal welfare, while socially engaging over 150 partners across eight countries to build a more sustainable and traceable leather supply.
Pilot on Water resilience transition with WWF-France
Since 2025, the Drôme leathergoods workshop has participated in a regional water resilience initiative, developed by WWF-France and local stakeholders. This three-year project focuses on engaging 11 farmers in the Southeastern of France in improving water usage efficiency and adapting to climate change through more regenerative agricultural practices.
