Sustainable Luxury 2.0
Sustainable Luxury 2.0
September 28, 2010, Hotel Moevenpick, Lausanne, Switzerland.
How to be good and do well ?
The debate surrounding sustainable luxury is not new, but very prevailing as luxury consumers’ expectations and behaviors evolve rapidly. The traditional definition of luxury as ‘anything unneeded’ is neither helpful nor relevant in today’s markets. Luxury has become both a commendable and widely obtainable need and necessity.
When it comes to corporate responsibility, luxury companies don’t become model citizens overnight. But merely complying with public demands for responsible practices won’t protect them very long or even contribute to solve social or environmental problems.
What does the terms ethical consumerism or discerning luxury consumption really tell us about future luxury spending habits? How best in class luxury companies succeed in their journey of embedding and driving CR initiatives in their organization? How to future-proof its company and ensure sustained value for all their stakeholders ? How to go beyond mere compliance to gain a competitive advantage ?
Nest to sharing best practices among luxury peers and NGO, participants will be building a common vision of the luxury goods industry in 2030 and testing how they informed understandings of this industry and its interactions with key stakeholders -- be they investors, retailers, clients, environmental activists, or members of supply chains -- shape their companies’ future business models. The expected output will be a glimpse into the core values that the luxury goods industry will need to promote, as a whole, to future-proof itself and ensure sustained value for all its stakeholders.
Christopher H. Cordey, the event Director said “Corporate Responsibility is not reserved to large luxury companies only. We want to believe that best in class luxury companies will lead, inspire and emulate other luxury players to engage as well towards a more sustainable and responsible future.”
He added “By moving beyond “compliance” or “strategic philanthropy”, engaged luxury companies have now a brilliant opportunity to go on their journey of extending the philosophy of excellence towards responsible excellence; and that’s what The Atelier of Sustainable Excellence is all about – about anticipating, sharing and experimenting. It is about proactively being part of the solutions.”
