ENSURING RESPONSIBLE AND TRANSPARENT VALUE CHAINS
The ability to trace supply chains is essential to ensuring responsible practices throughout a product's life cycle. The Group is building on its formalized certification policy, which was established in 2016, and is strengthening upstream traceability processes for the most complex supply chains by enhancing cooperation with suppliers and market participants. The Group is promoting enhanced traceability in strategic supply chains and is collaborating with its peers to establish industry standards.
WORKING TOGETHER TO PERFECT TRACEABILITY ACROSS SUPPLY CHAINS
Supply chain mapping and traceability are a strategic focus of LVMH’s responsible sourcing policy. Between now and 2030, the Group will remain committed to its goal of equipping 100% of its strategic supply chains with a dedicated traceability system covering the entire value chain, from raw materials to finished products.
In 2025, 98% of the leather used by the Group was from a known country of origin, 99.9% of the exotic leather used was from a known country of origin, and 100% of the diamonds larger than 0.2 carats purchased by the Group were certified by a gemological laboratory that guaranteed their origin.
The Group is also continuing to roll out certification processes for more than twenty strategic raw materials, including cotton, grapes, and gold. For 89% of the cotton, the country where it was grown or where the fiber was recycled is known.
LVMH is also involved in several industry-wide initiatives aimed at strengthening traceability standards and ESG practices in high-risk supply chains, notably TRASCE in the cosmetics sector and the Colored Gemstones Working Group for colored gemstones. In 2025, 66% of Tier 1 suppliers to fragrance and cosmetics companies were already connected to a shared supply chain mapping and traceability platform.
PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF PRODUCTS
To meet growing expectations concerning transparency, LVMH is accelerating the roll out of environmental information solutions for consumers. The Group has set a goal of entering all the products from its Maisons into a dedicated information system by 2026, accessible via a QR code, digital label, or Digital Product Passport (DPP). In 2025, more than 45,000 products from the Group’s Maisons already featured this environmental information compared to 31,000 in 2024. The information available covers, among other things, the products' origin, composition, care, traceability, and environmental impacts.
LVMH is also continuing to develop the Digital Product Passport—led in particular by the Aura Blockchain Consortium—to offer an enhanced customer experience centered on traceability, authenticity, and circular services related to its products. More than 50 million luxury products are now listed on this platform.
Finally, the Group is contributing to the development of shared methodologies for environmental reporting, particularly with regard to the Eco-score and tools for measuring product impact.
ENSURING PRODUCT SAFETY
LVMH and its Maisons adhere to a rigorous policy for managing chemicals throughout the product life cycle based on the principles of “avoid, monitor, and reduce.” This approach aims to minimize risks to human health and prevent impacts on ecosystems.
In Wines & Spirits, Moët Hennessy has been pursuing a policy of reducing chemical inputs in its vineyards for more than twenty years through its “Living Soils Living Together” program. In 2025, 99.9% of LVMH’s vineyards possessed environmental certification.
In Fashion & Leather Goods, the Group is continuing to implement its ZDHC roadmap to gradually reduce the use of substances of highest concern and improve the quality of wastewater discharges in the textile and leather sectors. In 2025, five of the eight targets set for 2026 had already been met, including 100% coverage of textile and leather production volumes through wastewater quality monitoring reports.
At the same time, the Perfumes & Cosmetics Maisons are strengthening their formulation policies to anticipate regulatory changes and limit the use of controversial substances. PFAS have been banned from formulations since 2009, and the Group is continuing to develop alternatives for several substances of concern.
In addition, the Product Restricted Substances List (PRSL) for the Fashion and Leather Goods and Watches and Jewelry sectors applies to products and all raw materials used by the Maisons and sets maximum concentrations for certain substances that exceed regulatory limitations.
