LVMH INCLUSION INDEX: A GROUP-WIDE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION MONITORING SYSTEM
Designed in 2018 by a team of five LVMH employees (from TAG Heuer, LVMH Fashion Group, Le Bon Marché, Sephora and Louis Vuitton) at a DARE intrapreneurship event dedicated to gender equality, the purpose of the Inclusion Index was to measure and boost the efforts made by LVMH and its Maisons to achieve a better gen- der balance within the Group. Since then, the Inclusion Index has expanded its scope to include all initiatives related to the LGBTI community. Some 150 initiatives relat- ing to gender equality or the LGBTI community have thus been identified. Every year since it was launched, the Inclusion Index has recognized particularly commendable initiatives for diversity.

L ÉMISSION ENGAGÉE: LOOKING BACK ON A YEAR OF GOOD CAUSES FOR LVMH
LVMH organized L Émission Engagée, a digital version of its traditional Engaged Maisons Dinner. Despite the pub- lic health context, the Group insisted on maintaining this annual event, which since 2011 has brought together all its stakeholders its Maisons, employees and nonprofit partners to celebrate its social commitment and sup- port for the community. Throughout the evening, LVMH and its Maisons pledged their financial support for the fight against sickle cell anemia by donating to the Robert-Debré Hospital (AP-HP) and the teams working with Prof. Baruchel and Dr. Benkerrou to help care for children affected by this hereditary genetic disease. Each year, other worthy causes are also featured, such as the À Table Les Soignants initiative a token of gratitude for all the hospital staff mobilized during the Covid-19 crisis
launched by LVMH Hotel Management and Arnaud Donckele, recipient of three Michelin stars and chef at the Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez Hotel. This initiative provides hospital staff with meals for two, which in turn helps support restaurant owners. At the invitation of Chantal Gaemperle, LVMH s Executive Committee met to watch the broadcast of the initiative, at the same time as all Group employees.
