Our Responsible Sourcing

We see accelerating our transition to a fully climate‑aligned business as a way to demonstrate responsible leadership. Berluti is following SBTi principles to steer its carbon reduction strategy, supported by full-scope carbon reporting and quarterly Environment Committees with oversight of each parameter.

From materials selection to making our products, and from in-store energy use to staff travel, the goal is to optimize and gradually reinvent every piece of the jigsaw. 

This approach is already bearing fruit, with 2024 showing a 16% decrease in absolute emissions and a 9% reduction in carbon intensity compared to 2023. 

These tangible advances reflect a growing momentum and our determination to put the Maison’s operations on a more responsible footing, with an updated target of achieving a 52% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 (vs. 2023).

The Join Forces programme that LMVH launched in 2023 goes even further, bringing together initiatives from across the Group and mobilising all its partners around a responsible transition. September 2024 saw more than 30 Deret staff members (including the Executive Committee) undergo Climate Fresk training, following in the footsteps of 74 prior participants. These sessions were held during supplier forums at our workshops in Italy and our headquarters in France, and included participants from 26 of our key suppliers in the transport, leather and garment sectors.

In China, we’ve transitioned from air to rail transport wherever routes are available, as rail freight typically has a carbon footprint around 90% lower than air freight.

Berluti also began implementing the LVMH Group’s GREEN In Tech roadmap in 2024 to decarbonize our digital footprint, managing the life cycle of equipment, turning machinery off outside of working hours, and training staff in environmentally conscious behaviours.

Since 2025, pooling shipments between Berluti and other LVMH Maisons from our Gennevilliers site has streamlined deliveries to our Paris stores and reduced CO2 emissions, while also optimizing transport costs. Our logistics partner Deret systematically monitors fill rates to ensure that boxes are at least 80% full. 

Another advance is our adoption of Living Packets, reusable packaging that’s traceable, secure, and has an adjustable insert that adapts to the goods being transported. This new solution offers a more responsible way of transporting our products.
