Biodiversity

The threat to the natural abundance of the earth and to its biodiversity is a matter of increasing concern. Our direct impact upon biodiversity is low but nonetheless we make a contribution through combating the man-made causes of climate change, our careful disposal of hazardous waste and the management of the grounds of our offices and other sites.

As users of leather and other animal products and through purchasing raw materials such as gold and diamonds, we also have an indirect impact on biodiversity. Our environmental code of conduct and supplier guidelines set out our policies for protecting endangered species, leather products manufacturing, conflict-free diamonds and responsible gold sourcing.

Further information can be found in the Supply chain section of this report.

As strict adherents of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) we set out to avoid any adverse effects on biodiversity through our product sourcing.

Many of our Maisons have experienced strong growth in recent years and this has naturally led to expanding our office and manufacturing sites. Our expansion plans place a strong emphasis on environmental considerations as we believe this is essential for the continued success of our business.
