THE LVMH SPIRIT
The LVMH Group was formed from the merger
of Louis Vuitton and Moët Hennessy in 1987. Two
years later in 1989, Bernard Arnault became the
majority shareholder and Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, with a clear vision of making LVMH the world s leading manufacturer of luxury
goods.
The Group now has 75 Maisons organized into six
business groups.
The LVMH Group supports the growth of each of
its Maisons over the long term while allowing them
to express their own strengths and individual
identities within a shared model and set of values.
LVMH provides them with all the resources they
need to design, manufacture and selectively retail
their products and services.
SHARED VALUES
The performance and long-term future of the
Group and its Maisons are driven by three funda-
mental values that guide our employees behavior
and are rooted in the firm belief that our talented people represent the key to our success.
Innovation and creativity. These qualities form
an integral part of who we are. Over the years,
they have helped to guarantee the success of the
Maisons and establish their legitimacy. Creativity
and innovation come together at the heart of a
delicately balanced equation to refresh the range
provided by our Maisons and maintain their future
focus while respecting their heritage.
Excellence. At LVMH, we never compromise on
quality. Because our Maisons are synonymous
with the world of craftsmanship in its most noble
and accomplished form, we pride ourselves on
attention to detail and perfection. In our products
and services, we cultivate our difference through
this constant quest for excellence.
Entrepreneurship. LVMH has an agile and decen-
tralized organization that encourages efficiency and responsiveness. It stimulates individual
initiative by empowering employees with signif-
icant responsibilities. Our entrepreneurial spirit
encourages risk-taking and perseverance. It
requires pragmatic thinking and an ability to moti-
vate teams, inspiring them to achieve ambitious
objectives.
LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS

respectful of human rights and continuously
strives to improve working conditions, social
inclusion and health all key factors in enhancing
and safeguarding human rights.
