On the occasion of the world congress of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), held on September 3-11 in Marseilles, LVMH joined forces with Unesco to promote ‘Man and Biosphere’ (MAB), an intergovernmental scientific project in which the luxury giant is the only corporate partner, having collaborated with Unesco on MAB since 2019. In Marseilles, LVMH and Unesco are showcasing in a joint stand the long-term efforts they are engaged in to preserve and augment biodiversity on the planet, by facilitating the deployment of innovative solutions for the management of naturally sustainably resources, and by adopting sustainable practices and new tools to reconcile biodiversity preservation with an ecologically balanced exploitation of natural resources.
LVMH’s competitor Kering has instead announced the first seven beneficiaries of the Regenerative Fund for Nature, which the French luxury group set up in January together with Conservation International, a non-profit organisation promoting biodiversity. Their joint goal in the next five years is to ensure that one million hectares of land will be farmed using regenerative agriculture practices, especially with regards to the supply chain for the cotton, wool, cashmere and leather used by the fashion and luxury industries, as Kering explained in a press release. The fund provides direct support to farmers by financing projects in a number of countries. The first seven projects selected by Kering are the Good Growth Company (GGC) in Mongolia, Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) in India, Solidaridad in Argentina, Fundación Global Nature in Spain, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Wildlife-Friendly Enterprise Network (WFEN) in Patagonia, Epiterre in south-west France and Conservation South Africa in South Africa.
