Robust corporate

governance

The rights of LVMH shareholders

are protected by law and the principles

of corporate governance, which govern

the way the Group operates.

Objectives set in line with the social,

environmental and climate-related issues

facing the Group’s business

LVMH’s Board of Directors is the strategic body of

the Company that is primarily responsible for driving

long-term value creation and protecting its corporate

interests, focusing in particular on the social, environ-

mental and climate-related issues facing its business.

Role of the Board of Directors

in the Company’s strategy

The Board of Directors’ principal assignments are to

approve the Company’s and the Group’s broad strategic

direction – particularly with regard to social, environ-

mental and climate-related matters – and supervise its

implementation, as well as verifying the fair and accurate

presentation of information about the Company and

the Group. It is also tasked with protecting the Group’s

corporate assets and ensuring that core business risks

are accounted for in its management. The Board also

ensures that procedures to prevent corruption and

influence-peddling risks are implemented by the Group

and its main partners, and monitors the impact of the

Group’s non-discrimination and diversity policy, notably

with regard to gender equality within the governing

bodies. Lastly, it acts as guarantor of the rights of all of

its shareholders and ensures that they fulfill all of their

duties. A Charter has been adopted by the Board of

Directors which outlines rules governing its membership,

duties, procedures, and responsibilities.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has set up three committees,

each specializing in a matter of importance: a committee

in charge of performance audit, a committee in charge

of governance and compensation, and a committee

in charge of ethics and sustainable development.

These committees consist of at least three members,

appointed by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of

each committee is appointed by the Board of

Directors and selected from among its members.

Meetings or joint working sessions may be organized

between the Board’s various committees on cross-

cutting topics, particularly with regard to social and

environmental responsibility and climate issues.
