The fifth annual LVMH Committed Companies Dinner took place on December 13th at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The evening celebrated the active commitment to social responsibility of LVMH and its Maisons and raised funds for the fight against sickle cell anemia.

LVMH has been actively involved in the fight against sickle cell anemia since 2011, providing support for research at Robert Debré Hospital in Paris. Sickle cell anemia is the world’s most widespread genetic disorder, affecting over five million people worldwide. It is estimated that 250,000 children are born with the disease each year. The annual “Dîner des Maisons Engagées LVMH” is a concrete example of the Group’s commitment to social responsibility, raising funds for the ongoing fight against sickle cell disease and improved patient care.

Sponsored by Bernard Arnault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LVMH, the dinner welcomed 400 guests. Toni Belloni, Group Managing Director and Chantal Gaemperle, Group Executive Vice President, Human Resources were joined by the Presidents of the Maisons.

“The continued support of LVMH is essential for us, making it possible to progress with our research and to improve the quality of care for our patients. LVMH also helps raise awareness of a disease that does not receive a great deal of attention, despite being very widespread around the world,” said André Baruchel, Head of the Hemato-Immunology Department of Robert-Debré Hospital.

For this fifth anniversary of the event, LVMH raised 190,000 euros.
