CONSTANT DIALOGUE WITH STAKEHOLDERS

Throughout the year, LVMH maintains and develops dialogue and communication with its stakeholders.

Group, its business groups, Maisons and geographic locations.

Furthermore, the Group maintains relations with third-party stakeholders through formal partnerships
