Givenchy publishes no brand-level emissions data despite being a major luxury fashion house. Its parent LVMH shows mixed climate progress—Scope 1+2 cuts offset by flat Scope 3 absolute emissions and intensity-based targets that sidestep real reduction. Supply chain deforestation linkage unresolved; exotic animal materials and limited supplier transparency are persistent gaps.
Givenchy scores 28/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified May 2026.
