Our success is only valuable if it is virtuous,” Mr. Arnault continues. “It can only be sustainable if it is just. And it will be all the more brilliant if it benefits everyone – beneficial for us and for our employees, for our customers of course, for our stakeholders, and above all for our future. This is about acting for the common good and ensuring that our success has positive impact beyond our immediate sphere. LVMH currently counts nearly 200,000 employees in 80 countries. Our workforce has reached record levels. Our talented people have been more decisive than ever in guiding the recovery in business. Our people make all the difference, they are at the very heart of our performance and our commitment. The Group’s social responsibility focus was marked by the rollout of a global Diversity & Inclusion roadmap in 2022. Among the objectives of this action plan are reaching 50% women in key positions, along with equal pay and increasing the proportion of people with disabilities to 2% of the global workforce. These objectives are more important than ever as LVMH welcomes thousands of new employees each year, including 39,000 early career professionals in 2022. With the first You and Me tour, the Métiers d’Excellence program supported this recruiting momentum last year, which is essential in order to pass on the unique savoir-faire that underpins the enduring success of the Group’s Maisons. The LVMH Métiers d’Excellence jobs and recruiting fair drew thousands of future talents, sparking interest among young generations in careers in craft, creative and customer experience professions. The LVMH Group has some 3,500 jobs and training opportunities available. LVMH was equally active in advancing its environmental responsibility commitments, led by Antoine Arnault, LVMH Image & Environment. Concrete results from the LIFE 360 program reflect the active engagement of the entire Group and its Maisons. An energy reduction plan was introduced to cut the Group’s energy consumption by 10% between October 2022 and October 2023, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption by 11%, and cut scope 3 emissions by 15%.
