In a significant move towards promoting biodiversity and environmental conservation, luxury giant LVMH has recently announced a strategic partnership with UNESCO. This groundbreaking five-year collaboration aims to support UNESCO’s “Man and Biosphere” program, which is dedicated to addressing the critical issue of biodiversity loss while also tackling related economic and social challenges. By aligning with UNESCO, LVMH is showcasing its unwavering dedication to sustainable development and environmental protection.
As part of the agreement, LVMH will actively engage with UNESCO at various global events, including the upcoming 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties at the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2020. This collaboration will offer LVMH and its prestigious brands an opportunity to harness UNESCO’s scientific expertise to implement sustainable supply chain practices. By tapping into UNESCO’s extensive network of participants and biosphere reserves worldwide, LVMH can bolster its environmental initiatives and foster cutting-edge solutions for the responsible management of natural resources.
Notably, this partnership with UNESCO is in line with LVMH’s broader sustainability objectives, as outlined in its LIFE program that was introduced in 2012.
