Louis Vuitton Sustainability Actions

Uses some lower-impact materials

Good On You says Louis Vuitton uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials. It also says the brand recycles some of its textile offcuts, which are the leftover pieces from fabric cutting. These steps can help reduce waste and lower the need for new raw materials. The rating body still gives the brand only a modest environmental score, so these actions are seen as limited rather than enough to make the business fully sustainable.

Has a science-based target

Good On You reports that Louis Vuitton has set a science-based target to cut greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and its supply chain. A science-based target is a climate goal that follows a method used to align company cuts with climate science. The same source says the brand claims it is on track. This is a positive sign, but the public information still does not show enough detail to fully judge how fast or how deeply emissions are falling.

Uses some certified tanneries

Good On You says Louis Vuitton claims to use Leather Working Group certified tanneries. The Leather Working Group is a group that checks how leather tanneries manage environmental issues such as water, chemicals, and waste. However, the source also says the brand does not give enough detail about the certification, so it is hard to know how much of its leather supply is covered or how strong the standard is across the full business.

Has a supply chain code

Good On You says Louis Vuitton has a Code of Conduct that covers the ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms, which are basic worker rights set by the International Labour Organization. The same source says the brand audits some of its supply chain, but it does not say what share is checked. This means there is some formal labour policy in place, but the public information is too limited to show how well it works in practice.
