Below expectationsPending Review

Louis Vuitton, reported via parent LVMH, has cut operational emissions 55% but absolute total emissions rose 5% in 2024, driven by flat Scope 3 at 7.5 Mt. The company relied on intensity metrics while supply chain emissions grew, misled on 'reductions', and faces unresolved Amazon deforestation links through leather suppliers. Renewable energy at 71% but water stress and virgin plastic persist.
