The LVMH Group has been consolidating its environmen-

tal indicators since 1999, and has been publishing them

since 2001. They are published in the Universal Registration

Document, and in the present Group Environmental Report. Since 2002, these indicators have been verified by one of our Statutory Auditors, an independent third party, to provide a reasonable level of assurance. The opinion expressed by the

independent verifier is published in the Universal Registration Document.

PROTOCOL

All consolidation and calculation rules are defined in the LVMH environmental reporting protocol, which is updated

annually and published by the Environment Department. Requests to consult the document may be sent to the
