OUR MISSION
The world leader in luxury, LVMH is a family-led Group that has since its founding in 1987 deployed a business model anchored in fostering the development of its Maisons while respecting their distinctive identities. All LVMH Maisons craft products and services that strive for excellence and meet the highest ethical, social and environmental standards. They all champion the Group's mission, The Art of Crafting Dreams.Over the centuries, all our Maisons have managed to both preserve and enhance their material and intellectual heritage, with a constant focus on the quality of their products and services. To ensure this excellence from top to bottom, the Group has mastered the vertical integration of its value chain, from the sourcing of the finest raw materials, through manufacturing, to selective distribution. It's this model that guarantees the excellence of our products over time. Products designed to stand the test of time, generation after generation.
While we have never compromised on the quality of our products that drives our economic success, we are equally uncompromising on the ethical, social and environmental responsibilities they entail. That's why, year after year, we step up our initiatives. At LVMH, we have always been strongly committed to acting with and promoting integrity in all our activities and relationships, whether that be with our employees, our partners or any other stakeholders. Today, this approach provides an answer to the question of the companies' ethical responsibility and the position a group such as LVMH should hold within society. It reflects our sense of duty as an industry leader.
OUR VALUES, KEYS TO EXCELLENCE
LVMH's long-term performance is based on four fundamental values defined by Bernard Arnault and shared by everyone in the Group.
BE CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE
This unity of creativity and innovation is our Maisons’ foundation and is at the center of a delicate equation: updating our products and being resolutely forward-thinking while also continuing to stay true to our heritage and traditions to create products that will stand the test of time. Creativity and innovation is part of our DNA and have ensured the success of our Maisons over the years. They give free rein to the infinite exploration of possibilities afforded by new technologies, one of the Group's key areas of development.
DELIVER EXCELLENCE
No comprises can be made on quality within the Group. Because the Maisons embody the world of craftsmanship at its finest and most accomplished, with a meticulous attention to detail in search of perfection: from products to services, it is in this pursuit of excellence that the Group sets itself apart.
CULTIVATE AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
The Group's flexible decentralized organization improves efficiency and responsiveness. It fosters individual initiatives by entrusting each person with important responsibilities. The company spirit facilitates risk-taking and encourages perseverance; it requires a pragmatic approach and the ability to motivate teams by leading them towards ambitious objectives.
BE COMMITTED TO POSITIVE IMPACT
Every step taken by the Group and its employees reflects our commitment to ethical and social responsibility as well as respect for the environment. These commitments are the foundation of the long-term success of our Maisons. Because products are not popular without being sustainable, we are committed to ensuring that the way they are manufactured has a positive impact on our entire ecosystem and the territories in which we operate.
