The following are also taken into account to calculate en-
ergy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions: all
the French stores owned by Berluti, Givenchy, Guerlain,
Kenzo, and Make Up For Ever; and some stores owned by Acqua di Parma, Benefit, Bvlgari, Celine, Chaumet, Fendi, Fred, Hublot, Loewe, Loro Piana, Marc Jacobs, Parfums Christian Dior, Pucci, TAG Heuer and Pink Shirtmaker.
The following are also taken into account to calculate water
consumption: certain Berluti, Bvlgari, Chaumet, DFS, Fendi, Guerlain, Kenzo, Loewe, Louis Vuitton and Sephora stores. A total of 1,102,020 m3 of water is consumer by the 20% of retail space taken into account.
REPORTING TOOL AND METHODOLOGY
The environmental report is prepared using an in-house web-
based tool consisting of three kinds of questionnaire:
- A questionnaire compiling corporate data: training, packaging, etc.
- A raw materials questionnaire - One (or more) questionnaire compiling data specific to the manufacturing sites: water and energy consumption, waste
production (quantity and type), and waste processing, etc.
In total, each Maison collects data for around 100 catego-
ries. The data are then checked and automatically consoli-
dated in a central file, which has many control and warning mechanisms (abnormal data and consistency problems, etc.).
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ASSESSMENTS
Consistency checks are performed by the sites (compari-
son with Y-1), and when data are consolidated by the LVMH
Environment Department. The key qualitative and quantita- tive information set out in the following list has been audited
to obtain reasonable and limited assurance of its fair presen-
tation (marked by an asterisk) by EY & Associés as part of its statement of non-financial performance.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION CONSIDERED TO
BE THE MOST IMPORTANT
Quantitative information (including Key Performance
Indicators):
- Percentage of industrial sites with ISO 14001 certification (%)*
- Total energy consumption (MWh)* - Greenhouse gas emissions due to energy use (metric tons
of CO 2 equivalent)*
- Total water consumption for process purposes (m3)* - Chemical oxygen demand (COD) after treatment (metric tons/yr)*
- Total waste produced (metric tons)* - Total hazardous waste produced (metric tons)* - Percentage of waste recovered (%)* - Total packaging sent to customers (metric tons)* - Environmental Performance Index (EPI) of packaging
(value)
- Proportion of grapes (in kg) from its own vineyards or pur-
chased, certified as sustainable viticulture (%) - Proportion of palm oil derivatives (in kg) certified RSPO Mass Balance or Segregated (%)
- Proportion of leather (in m2) from LWG-certified tanneries (%)
- Proportion of gold (in kg) purchased that is RJC COP or CoC certified
- Proportion of diamonds (in kg) purchased that are RJC COP certified
- Proportion of cotton supply (in metric tons) purchased that
is organic or BCI certified (%) - Greenhouse gas emissions avoided per year by projects carried out under the carbon fund (metric tons of CO
2
equivalent avoided)
Qualitative information (action or results):
- Organization of the environmental initiative, in particular
governance and commitments, including the LIFE program
- Environmental impact of packaging and monitoring the
LIFE Product objective - Environmental standards taken into account in sourcing
