make them must be compliant and safe. It therefore actively

monitors national and international regulations, applies the

most stringent requirements (see p. 58), and has estab- lished its own internal standard, the LVMH RSL (Restricted

Substances List). The list is regularly updated and forbids

or restricts the presence of certain substances in marketed

products and their use by suppliers.

As well as the RSL, the Maisons have access to other tools. For example, the LVMH Testing Program reinforces the

Maisons own control procedures by allowing them to use

partner laboratories to test the highest risk substances for

the different materials. In 2018, LVMH supplemented the LVMH RSL with a list of raw materials and substances that are

now banned in finished products and product lines. In 2019, Fendi also launched a pilot scheme to test the compliance

of the products and components used in its leather, fur, and

fabric range production lines.

Environmental-performance measuring tools are also applied

to control the ingredients used in products. For example, the

IFE (Index Formulation Eco-conceived) is based on six crite-

ria, including the natural origin of ingredients and raw material

traceability. By taking this proactive, stringent approach to

the composition and formulation of its products, the Group

fosters the use of alternatives and encourages innovation,

which in turn makes it possible to eliminate undesirable raw

materials and substances.

TRADITION AND INNOVATION, A COMBINATION MADE TO LAST

The Group has made the blend of tradition, creativity and

innovation its hallmark, and it single-mindedly pursues

extremely exacting quality standards. It is this positive

balance between past and future that enables the Maisons

to create items that stand the test of time and are handed

down from one generation to the next. The Maisons

actively combine technological innovation and ancestral

savoir-faire, as demonstrated at the LVMH Watch Week in

Dubai in January 2020, which was exclusively devoted to new timepieces, and at the 2019 China International Import

Export Expo, where the LVMH Pavilion design was inspired

by France s 19th -century glass and steel architecture.

The Maisons preserve the longevity of their ancestral

savoir-faire by adapting to contemporary needs. They use

traditional techniques and processes, some of which date

back centuries. For example, Hennessy s eaux-de-vie barrels

are made by hand using the same techniques as 18th-century coopers. The fine quality of Loewe s leathers is achieved by combining the ancestral craftsmanship of Spain s Cordero

Entrefino tanners with cutting-edge tanning techniques.

The Group sees it as a priority to encourage its artisans and

designers to pass on their savoir-faire to younger gener-

ations, and inspire its suppliers, who also have their own

Driving sustainable innovation From September 14th to October 27th, 2019, Maison/o ,

the incubator set up by LVMH and Central Saint Martins

to drive responsible and sustainable innovation through

design, presented the exhibition Designing in Turbulent

Times , which celebrated the most innovative sustainable

creations, such as a biodegradable alternative to standard

sequins, a collection of jewelry that recycles waste

feathers and a vegetable-based yarn alternative made

from pineapple leaf fibers.
