SAINT LAURENT’S APPROACH IS ROOTED IN A QUEST TO CONSTANTLY IMPROVE—IN MEANINGFUL AND MEASURABLE WAYS. RECOGNIZING THE COMPLEX NATURE OF SUSTAINABILITY, THE HOUSE IS ENGAGED IN A BROAD RANGE OF INITIATIVES AIMED AT PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIGNITY, PRESERVING THE ENVIRONMENT, AND IMPLEMENTING RESPONSIBLE SOURCING.

SAINT LAURENT EMBRACES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW. FAR MORE THAN AN ETHICAL NECESSITY, SUSTAINABILITY IS A FORCE OF INNOVATION AND A GAUGE OF SUCCESS. IT IS EMBEDDED IN THE HOUSE’S CULTURE, DRIVING DECISIONS AND BEHAVIORS AT EVERY LEVEL.

TO BUILD SUSTAINABILTY AWARENESS WITHIN THE HOUSE, EMPLOYEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO COMPLETE A 50 MINUTES COURSE ON THE SUBJECT. THIS CURRICULUM IS ALSO A FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT OF THE SAINT LAURENT COUTURE INSTITUTE, A SIX-MONTH COURSE FOR ADVANCED FASHION STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE HOUSE THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INSTITUT FRANÇAIS DE LA MODE.

SAINT LAURENT IST SICH BEWUSST, DASS EINE INTENSIVE UND KONSEQUENTE PRÜFUNG DER ROHSTOFFE UND IHRES URSPRUNGS VON ENTSCHEIDENDER BEDEUTUNG FÜR DIE REDUZIERUNG DER UMWELTBELASTUNG IST. DAS HAUS IST AUF DEM BESTEN WEG, BIS 2025 EINE 100-PROZENTIGE RÜCKVERFOLGBARKEIT DER WICHTIGSTEN ROHSTOFFE UND EINE 100-PROZENTIGE ÜBEREINSTIMMUNG MIT DEN KERING-STANDARDS FÜR ROHSTOFFE UND HERSTELLUNGSPROZESSE ZU ERREICHEN.
