PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY
Nature’s resources are at the heart of the exceptional products created by the Group and its Maisons. Protecting and restoring ecosystems is therefore a long-term priority. Through LIFE 360, LVMH is pursuing a strategy focused on measuring and reducing its impact on nature while helping regenerate biodiversity. This approach is driven by the transformation of its value chains, the expansion of regenerative agriculture and the protection of the world’s most important ecosystems. By 2025, the Group had already helped preserve, restore or regenerate 4.3 million hectares of natural habitats.
REDUCING OUR IMPACT ON NATURE
LVMH relies on science-based methodologies to assess its environmental footprint and guide its actions through measurable objectives. Among its key commitments is the ambition to source 100% certified strategic raw materials by 2026. Significant progress has already been made across several key supply chains: in 2025, 84% of the Group’s cotton was certified, 99% of leather came from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries, and 97% of grapes grown in the Group’s vineyards were certified under sustainable viticulture standards.
The Group also continues to implement its zero-deforestation policy, ensuring that its sourcing practices do not contribute to the degradation of forest ecosystems.
Water stewardship remains another strategic priority. LVMH aims to reduce industrial water withdrawals by 30% by 2030. In 2025, withdrawals had already been reduced by 19% compared with 2019, supported in particular by the deployment of wastewater recycling and reuse technologies.
The Group also continues to strengthen its biodiversity governance. In 2025, LVMH joined the European Union’s expert group on Nature Credits, contributing to the development of new frameworks for ecosystem protection and restoration. Biodiversity task forces were also established across the Group’s hospitality activities to coordinate initiatives related to environmental site certification, water stewardship and the preservation of local ecosystems.
REGENERATING ECOSYSTEMS
To achieve its objective of preserving or restoring 5 million hectares of natural habitats by 2030, LVMH is accelerating the rollout of regenerative agriculture and ecosystem restoration programs across its strategic supply chains. By 2025, 4.3 million hectares had already been preserved, restored or regenerated, while more than 52,000 hectares were being managed under regenerative agriculture practices.
The Group continues to advance initiatives across key agricultural sectors, including grapes, cotton, wool and leather, while supporting biodiversity conservation projects with partners such as UNESCO and CLIMATE CHANCE’s Biodiversity Corridors program in Africa. In 2025, the "For the Beauty of Nature" partnership between LVMH and UNESCO was renewed for a further five years, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to protecting and restoring some of the world’s most valuable ecosystems.
DRIVING COLLECTIVE ACTION
LVMH believes that protecting biodiversity requires collective action. The Group works alongside businesses, institutions and academic partners, while also raising awareness among employees and the wider public.
LVMH actively contributes to the work of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), helping shape new frameworks for measuring nature-related impacts and dependencies. It also supports field initiatives, including biodiversity corridor projects in Africa, which play a vital role in protecting wildlife and ecosystems, and programs in Bolivia that help women-led communities develop local economic activities while reducing deforestation.
Through Maison/0, its partnership with Central Saint Martins, LVMH also encourages emerging creative talent to explore new approaches to circular and regenerative design, helping shape the next generation of sustainable innovation.
