LVMHEco-design is an integral part of the LVMH Group’s environmental policy, which concerns products as well as stores. LVMH launched its first life cycle analysis in 1992 on twelve-bottle boxes of Hennessy VSOP cognac sent to Germany. This first product life cycle analysis was a pioneering experience. The extremely complex results turned out to be difficult to process, which is why, in the early 2000s, LVMH acquired the Simapro environmental evaluation software. This software identifies much more clearly and quickly the actions required for reducing the impact of the Group’s products on nature, from their design to the end of life. All entities of the LVMH Group have been trained. Since 2004, the environment department publishes the “Food for Thought” tool on an annual basis, a guide designed to raise the awareness of eco-design which also lists materials with ecological properties. Many other actions are presented in the LVMH Group’s environment reports. Contact: Sylvie Bénard www.lvmh.fr/
