The company provides evidence of compliance for the same.

 

Supplier code of conduct, pg. 3

"Freedom of association: Freedom of association: We require our suppliers to respect and recognize the right of workers to negotiate collectively, and to create or join labor organizations of their choice without any sanction, discrimination or harassment."

 

Environment Report, pg. 57

"A STRINGENT AUDIT POLICY

The Group’s traceability policy includes making its suppliers and sub-contractors accountable. A code of conduct, translated into 20 languages and updated in 2017, urges them to strictly apply ethical, social and environmental standards and regulations, use techniques that preserve natural resources, and implement an environmental management system.

LVMH conducts compliance audits to ensure that they adopt sustainable practices. In 2019, the Group’s Maisons carried out 1,589 social and/or environmental audits of 1,261 suppliers across all its businesses—Italian Maison Acqua di Parma, for example, conducted 15 last year. Supply chain audits were also carried out, including one into South African-sourced Mohair in the summer of 2019. In addition, LVMH has developed two environmental audit checklists for its buyers and offers training in how to use them at the Environment Academy."
