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.

環境への影響を減らすには、素材とその供給源を厳密に、かつ一貫して精査することが不可欠であることをサンローランは認識しています。
