LV set sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility standards within their manufacturing.
According to LV Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Burke, “Great design, sustainability
and a great business do go hand in hand”. The “Horizon luggage” is as an example to illustrate the
brand’s commitment to the environment. This product is constructed of “ultra-light materials”
(aluminium cane, 50%-finer canvas, composite body), which reduces CO2 impact by 20% during use.
“Horizon’s” design promises the long-lasting use that is critical in reducing the environmental
footprint (“70% of repairs to this luggage can be performed in an LV store within 48 hours,
minimising transport and offering high-quality service”). The use of local supplies, and the 100%
France-based assembly, limits transport requirements, and ensures respect for appropriate
environmental practices
