Parisian elegance is only desirable if it is sustainable
Moving towards a more virtuous fashion industry, SMCP is pushing for more responsible fashion, based on the belief that Parisian elegance is only desirable when it is sustainable.
To achieve this objective, the Group has developed a sustainability strategy for 2030 based on the following three priorities: SMCProduct, SMCPlanet et SMCPeople – our « 3P », designed to meet our major social, societal and environmental challenges.
Employee engagement is key to achieving its various commitments, so the Group strives to regularly share its progress and achievements with its teams, notably through internal communications, awareness-raising initiatives, or exchanges with management teams addressing various topics related to its CSR policy
The CSR strategy is driven by the Group Board of Directors and Executive Committee. A Group sustainability department is responsible for the operational deployment of this strategy, supported by dedicated teams within the Brands. In 2023, a Sustainability Committee was created within the Board of Directors to strengthen the consideration of societal and environmental issues in the Group’s governance.
The Group’s CSR department leads three committees bringing together representatives from the various Business Units (brands, France-Europe, North America and Asia) on key CSR strategy issues:
To find out more about SMCP’s CSR strategy, please refer to our CSR Report 2023.
Each Brand and Region has a dedicated sustainability Committee and at least one sustainability lead. Each sustainability Lead ensures the implementation of the Group’s strategy and work with his Committee and the dedicated teams to adapte it to each entity.
Our Brands have taken ownership of the Group’s strategy and expressed it through their own DNA.
Beyond the Group, SMCP is committed to national and international sustainable development initiatives. Since 2020, , the Group joined the United Nations Global Compact.
The united Nations Global Compact offers a framework of voluntary commitment based on a set of ten principles related to human rights, labor law, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption. By committing alongside the UN, we embrace these principles reflect them fully in the pillars of our Group sustainability strategy.
Like the passionate & responsible entrepreneurs who shaped our history, our sustainability commitments are based on our 5 core values.
