Sustainably designed buildings

Located in Chartres, the La Ruche production site, certified HQE (Excellent level), is a laboratory of environmental innovation.

Thanks to a 100% renewable energy mix (green electricity & biomethane) combined with consumption reduction measures, La Ruche has cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 93% in three years.

Our headquarters
at la Samaritaine

Since 2021, our headquarters and new boutique at La Samaritaine have embodied our environmental commitments within an exceptional architectural setting. This ambitious project, combining heritage renovation with new construction, was carried out according to a demanding brief, jointly driven by the sustainability initiatives of Guerlain and La Samaritaine.


From reducing greenhouse gas emissions to waste management, from the choice of materials to rainwater harvesting, as well as the comfort of workspaces and energy efficiency, every detail has been designed to combine well-being, innovation and environmental excellence.

Our French factories and sites supplied with biomethane through SAVE Energies

In July 2021, Guerlain was one of the first Houses within the LVMH group to partner with SAVE Energies, a supplier of biomethane produced in France from organic waste.


This green gas, used as a replacement for conventional gas across all our factories and French sites, reduces emissions linked to thermal uses (heat, processes, heating) by 81%. This commitment is fully aligned with LVMH’s LIFE 360 strategy, which aims for a significant decarbonisation of the Group’s activities – notably through a 100% renewable energy supply for all its sites and boutiques in France by 2026.
