“During 2021, the Fashion business updated the risk analysis of its key supply chains and an updated full programme of audits has been defined, the roll out of which started at the end of year 2021.

The Laboratory of Fragrance Creation and Development formalised in 2020, with the support of an external technical expert, a Sustainability risk assessment tool for 100% of its natural ingredients. The tool, made of 19 indicators, cross references the results of the environmental and social risks inherent to the cultivation country of origin of the plant (based on external databases such as the Social Hotspot Database, FAQ Stats, Global Forest watch, etc.) with Chanel's level of exposure to these risks. The results of the risk mapping enable the prioritisation of actions for sustainable sourcing of natural ingredients at agricultural level, supporting programme design and continued implementation.”

“To continue to strengthen the assessment of environmental, social and ethical issues that can occur in its supply base, Chanel has been partnering with the EcoVadis platform in 2020.

The objective of the EcoVadis rating methodology is to measure the quality of an individual supplier's sustainability management system through its policies and programmes, including on social and labour management issues.”
