Moët Hennessy: Transforming Luxury

How do you redefine luxury in a world of urgent environmental challenges? In this episode, I sit down with Philippe Schaus, Chairman and CEO of Moët Hennessy and member of the Executive Committee of LVMH, the world’s largest luxury group. We explore how Moët Hennessy’s 27 iconic maisons—including Veuve Clicquot, Belvedere Vodka, and Dom Pérignon, many with over 300 years of heritage—are innovating to preserve tradition while addressing the planet’s most pressing challenges. Key Topics Covered: The State of the Soil: "One gram of soil in your hand has as many organisms as there are humans on earth." With 40% of the world’s soil degraded, Philippe shares his vision for the World Living Soils Forum and Moët Hennessy’s Living Soils, Living Together program. Crafting a Sustainable Future: "Luxury is transmitting craftsmanship to the consumer." Philippe reveals how Moët Hennessy is ensuring future generations can continue to enjoy Dom Pérignon and other fine wines centuries from now. Facing Climate Reality: "Viticulture is responsible for 23% of carbon emissions. So, we start in our maisons with ourselves." With global temperatures rising, Philippe discusses Moët Hennessy’s approach to reducing emissions while preparing for climate challenges that could eliminate 56% of wine-growing regions. Sustainable Luxury in Action: From water conservation to circular economies and optimized supply chains, Moët Hennessy is leading the charge for responsible luxury. Collaboration for Change: Transparency, partnerships, and openness are key to Moët Hennessy’s vision for building a sustainable future. 🌍 Philippe’s Honest Reflections: "Complexity keeps all leaders awake at night." Philippe offers rare insights into the challenges and opportunities of leading transformative change in global luxury. Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we explore Commitment, Complexity, and Collaboration and uncover how Moët Hennessy is redefining tradition for a sustainable tomorrow.
