LVMH highlights key sustainability initiatives at Future Fabrics Expo 2025 in London

LVMH participated for the fourth consecutive year at the Future Fabrics Expo 2025, held in London on June 24-25.

As a flagship event of London Climate Week for the fashion and textile industry, the exhibition showcases sustainable textiles and innovative industry practices. The Group leveraged this opportunity to highlight its strategic partnerships with entrepreneurs shaping the future of sustainable luxury. By supporting a new generation of innovative solutions and ideas, LVMH reinforces its commitment to driving a responsible transformation of the industry through targeted, high-impact collaborations.

As part of the implementation of LIFE 360, its environmental action program, LVMH is deploying a strategy built around three key milestones – 2023 (with targets achieved), 2026, and 2030 – structured around five pillars: biodiversity protection, climate change mitigation, circular economy, transparency, and business partners.

At Future Fabrics Expo, LVMH presented the Group’s and its Maisons’ environmental initiatives within two dedicated pavilions. This edition highlighted the Group’s partners and suppliers, illustrating LVMH’s commitment to building lasting strategic collaborations founded on innovation and excellence.

 Recognizing the major environmental challenges and committed to significantly reducing its emissions, LVMH considers that closer cooperation with its entire ecosystem is essential to achieving its goals.

The Group introduced the LIFE 360 Business Partners program in late 2023. It aims to support suppliers in their environmental transitions and is structured around three ambitions: harmonizing ESG data collection; opening up access to LVMH’s training catalog; and jointly imagining new decarbonization solutions.

LVMH Pavilions

The “LVMH Business Partners” pavilion: partnerships committed to responsible fashion
This pavilion highlighted four of the Group’s key partners, actively engaged alongside LVMH in the environmental transformation of the fashion and textile industry. Each embodies a fundamental pillar of this transition- circularity, transparency, low-carbon transport, and valorization of existing resources:

·       Weturn, a partner of LVMH and notably of Maison Christian Dior Couture for textile circularity, develops a closed-loop recycling solution, locally transforming professional textile waste into new traceable raw materials.

·       Fairly Made, a French green tech start-up, supports several Group Maisons on impact measurement and eco-design.

·       Grain de Sail, a pioneer of decarbonized maritime transport, offers transatlantic logistics powered by sail, enabling certain Maisons to ship their products from Europe to the Americas with significantly reduced carbon impact.

·       Nona Source valorizes exceptional materials from the Maisons’ reserves by giving them a second life through a resale platform for young designers and committed brands.

The “LVMH Regenerative Agriculture” pavilion: transforming supply chains at the source

The pavilion showcased five flagship initiatives led by the Group and its Maisons, in partnership with stakeholders dedicated to scaling regenerative agriculture:

·       LVMH Fragrance Brands, particularly through Kenzo perfumes, relies on a French supply chain of sugar beets cultivated according to regenerative agriculture principles. The Maison co-finances farmers’ transition by covering 100% of the alcohol volumes purchased for the production of Kenzo fragrances.

·       Louis Vuitton Regenerative Leather Project, launched in 2023, embodies the Maison’s and LVMH Group’s ambition to define regenerative agriculture criteria for the leather industry around 6 specific pillars including soil and pastures, animal feed and biodiversity preservation.

·       Söktas, leader in premium cotton in Turkey, is developing a regenerative cotton project with LVMH aimed at reducing inputs, preserving water and improving traceability through to the finished product.

·       NATIVARegen™, a regenerative agriculture program led by Chargeurs group, supports LVMH in structuring more sustainable wool supply chains in Australia, with measurable results on soil quality and biodiversity.

These projects illustrate a strong ambition: to profoundly transform strategic supply chains – from cotton to wool, from leather to perfume ingredients – by promoting soil health, biodiversity preservation, respect for natural resources and farming communities.
