LVMH puts human rights and children right at the centre of its operations. As the Group celebrates its 1oth year of partnership with UNICEF and launches new collection dedicated to fund Power4girls @UNICEF - LOUIS VUITTON for UNICEF, the luxury Group has also just announced the appointment of Julie Vallat as VP Human Rights, LVMH. She will report to Olivier Théophile, Group SVP Social Engagement, within the team of Maud Alvarez-Pereyre, Group Chief Human Resources Officer.

Julie Vallat will lead the deployment of the Group's newly launched Human Rights Charter, support the Maisons in addressing their human rights challenges, and ensure consistent coordination of related initiatives across the Group's geographies. She will also contribute to the vigilance task force's work by leading targeted actions to mitigate risks and help prevent serious harm.

As part of its reinforced Duty of Vigilance framework, LVMH is strengthening its human rights strategy with the launch of this Charter. This commitment applies to the Group's employees and stakeholders throughout the entire value chain, in every country where the Group's Maisons operate, marking a decisive step forward in the Group's approach.

Respect for human rights is both an ethical imperative and a prerequisite for the long-term sustainability of the Group's operations. Through this Charter and this new appointment, the Group reaffirms its ambition to embed these commitments at the heart of its practices, decision-making, and business relationships.
