LVMH 2025 • Ethics

RESPONSIBLE RELATIONS

WITH OUR PARTNERS

As part of our vigilance policy , supporting our part -

ners is a key strategic priority for LVMH , as we aim to

build long - term relationships underpinned by our

shared quest for excellence and the ambition to

establish a set of common ethical principles and

guidelines . To this end , the Group has developed a

comprehensive approach aimed at ensuring that our

partners and suppliers adopt best practices , while

raising awareness and providing training on respon -

sibility - related issues specific to their own activities .

Consequently , the Group requires its business

partners to comply with the principles set out in its

Supplier & Business Partner Code of Conduct with

regard to business ethics and integrity , labor standards

and environmental compliance , and to ensure that

their own suppliers and subcontractors do likewise .

As part of this approach , 4 , 630 social and / or environ -

mental audits were conducted in 2025 . LVMH continued

to carry out a high number of audits at supplier pro -

duction sites and works with them as part of a collab -

orative approach , offering support in rolling out any

action plans that might be required .

Furthermore , to ensure that the overall responsible

purchasing policy is fully implemented , buyers within

the Maisons complete a Group - level training program

in responsible purchasing .
