Chanel’s New Sustainability Plan Will Move the Brand to 100% Renewable Electricity by 2025
Chanel发布“Mission 1.5”新气候战略计划
来源:Robb Report
可持续发展是时尚产业当下密切关注的问题,包括减少污染、使用可再生资源等。奢侈品牌Chanel也于近日发布“Mission 1.5”计划,以应对气候变化,并遵循2015年《巴黎气候协定》所定下的升温限定,推动该协定目标的实现。
“Mission 1.5”计划涵盖了品牌各方面业务,包括零售、供应链、时装秀等,最终实现以下4个目标:
1. 减少品牌运营的碳足迹;
2. 于2025年在全球范围内使用100%可再生电力资源;
3. 中和残余的碳排放量;
4. 为受气候变化影响最大的社群提供资金支持。
Chanel的秀场布景一直是时尚界讨论的热点,经常带给观众很多惊喜,比如将冰山搬到秀场、打造“超市”和森林等。品牌首席可持续发展官Andrea d’Avack表示,这确实对环境造成了一定影响,品牌也会与合作伙伴以更环保的方式来构思秀场,减少污染,并确保材料可重复利用和回收。
此外,Chanel以甜菜为原料,生产旗下香氛产品中所需的酒精,并与法国当地的农场主达成合作;还与芬兰初创公司Sulapac合作生产以废木屑为原料的可降解包装。这种以植物为原材料的包装可能将广泛应用于品牌的美妆产品组合中,以减轻整体重量、便于运输,并进一步减少碳排放量。
The fashion world’s sustainability efforts are ramping up, and Chanel is the latest brand to make a long-term commitment to reduce waste and utilize renewable resources.
Chanel Mission 1.5, the label’s new detailed plan aimed at directly addressing climate change, gets its name from the Paris Climate Agreement, which set out to limit the world’s mean temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The ambitious program involves every facet of the Chanel business, including retail, supply chain and events like runway shows. It centers around four main goals:
1) to reduce carbon emissions across all operations; 2) to shift to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2025; 3) to offset residual carbon emissions; 4) to finance climate change adaptation by working with communities most impacted by climate change.
The brand has taken heat in the past for its grand runway shows, which have gone to the extremes of shipping icebergs, creating a fully stocked supermarket and even a forest all in the name of spectacle.
D’Avack told WWD, “We are aware that there could be environmental consequences; that’s why we are really working hand-in-hand with our partners to conceive these shows in an eco-friendly way, trying to reduce the impact on the environment, making sure that we use materials that can be reused and recycled.”
Other efforts include working with sugar beet farmers in France (all alcohol in Chanel’s fragrance line is produced from these sugar beets) and a new partnership with Finnish startup Sulapac to produce biodegradable packaging made from cast-off wood chips.
This plant-based packaging would most likely be implemented in the company’s extensive cosmetics portfolio and could help reduce overall weight and related carbon emissions during shipping.
Cartier to Celebrate Women at the Expo 2020 in Dubai
Cartier在迪拜世博会设立女性主题展馆

3月8日,Cartier宣布与2020年迪拜世博会合作,打造一个女性主题展馆。此次合作也得到了阿联酋国务部长、世博会总干事Reem Ebrahim Al-Ashimy的支持。
展馆以“激励、推动全球公民为女性创造更美好的未来”为理念,展示不同文化背景下的女性群体在时代更替的过程中产生的社会影响力,关注女性创造的各种成就。
Cartier全球总裁兼首席执行官Cyrille Vigneron在接受电话采访时表示,品牌希望借此为女性发声,让更多的人关注到女性的社会贡献及影响,而不仅仅是展示品牌产品。对Cartier来说,女性群体一直扮演着重要的角色,品牌的客户和员工中有60%也都是女性。
品牌还计划邀请科学家、艺术家、政界人士、企业家等前来分享、交流,届时联合国副秘书长兼联合国妇女署执行主任Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka和国际人权律师Amal Clooney有望出席。
2020年世博会将于10月20日开幕,开放时间持续到2021年4月10日,为期6个月。除了各国的展馆外,本次世博会还特别开放了可持续发展专区,展示了包括Cartier在内的特色主题馆。
When the Expo 2020 opens in Dubai, scheduled Oct. 20, Cartier intends to welcome visitors to the international fair in its own stand-alone pavilion dedicated to women.
“Cartier is coming to the world Expo as a voice,” Cyrille Vigneron, president of Cartier International, said in a phone interview before an official announcement on Sunday, to coincide with International Women’s Day.
“We will not be talking about products,” he said, “but about women and the universal values that define who we are.”
The theme for Expo 2020, which is to run until April 10, 2021, is “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.” While the exposition will be composed of national pavilions, a separate area called the Sustainability District is to feature thematic presentations like Cartier’s, although the watch and jewelry maker’s pavilion is expected to be the only one sponsored by a luxury brand.
Cartier said it was creating its Women’s Pavilion in collaboration with the Expo and with the support of Reem Ebrahim Al-Ashimy, the Expo’s director general and the Emirati minister of state for international cooperation.
The brand’s announcement said that in an effort “to inspire and empower global citizens to create a better future for women,” the pavilion will be designed to showcase “the impact that women of all cultures have had across time, focusing on both known and lesser-known achievements.”
Talks featuring scientists, artists, politicians and businesswomen also are being planned, and the brand said Amal Clooney, the well-known human rights lawyer, and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, executive director of U.N. Women, the United Nations’ organization, are expected to attend events.
Dior Taps Daniel Arsham for Limited-Edition Art Objects
Dior携手艺术家Daniel Arsham塑造全新“未来遗迹”
来源:WWD
继2020春夏大秀后,Dior男装设计师Kim Jones再次邀请了艺术家Daniel Arsham为品牌的店铺设计了一系列限量版艺术品。
Daniel Arsham的全新设计中延续了他的标志性考古风格,每件艺术品都有各自的编号,与Dior 2019年6月在巴黎男装秀场上的艺术装置有异曲同工之妙。此次合作的艺术品也致敬了品牌创始人Christian Dior。
合作的作品共有5件,包括“D.I.O.R”字母装饰、篮球、时钟、复古电话机以及重新演绎的《Je suis couturier》(我是设计师)书籍,这本书由品牌创始人在1951年出版。所有的作品也都做了腐蚀效果处理。
Daniel Arsham还专为品牌设计了一个特别的概念性包装,让人联想到旧时运输特殊物品时使用的木箱,木箱外印满了品牌的logo。
据悉,消费者可通过当地Dior专柜或官网咨询艺术品价格,这也标志着品牌的联名系列首次步入收藏品行列。
自Kim Jones加入Dior以来,一直致力于艺术与时尚的融合,此前与Kaws、Hajime Sorayama、Raymond Pettibon等艺术家都有过合作。
Dior is branching out further into the art world. Having collaborated with Daniel Arsham on its spring 2020 show set and collection, Dior men’s wear designer Kim Jones has now invited the artist to create a series of limited-edition objects for Dior stores.
The numbered pieces, reminiscent of his Future Relics series, are similar to the objects that Arsham created for the installation at the men’s display in Paris last June.
Guests entered through a room inspired by founder Christian Dior that appeared caked in volcanic ash, before emerging onto a pink sand runway dominated by monolithic letter sculptures spelling out the word “Dior.”
Among the limited-editions is a miniature version of the letters, alongside Arsham’s take on Dior’s desk telephone and clock, both eroded to look like archeological relics, in what has become the artist’s signature technique.
In addition, there is a sculpture of Dior’s 1951 book, “Je suis couturier,” and a basketball, rendered in pale pink and bearing a Dior logo. The works come in conceptual boxes recalling the old-fashioned wooden crates used for special deliveries.
Jones has previously collaborated with artists including Kaws, Hajime Sorayama and Raymond Pettibon, but this marks the first time one of the brand’s art partnerships extends into collectible objects. Prices for the five art pieces are available on request.
Jean-Paul Agon, L’Oréal Group CEO to exit in 2021
欧莱雅集团首席执行官Jean-Paul Agon将于2021年离任
来源:Cpp-Luxury
近日,欧莱雅集团董事长兼首席执行官Jean-Paul Agon在接受法国《世界报》采访时表示,计划于2021年夏季离任,继任者将优先从集团内部选拔。
Agon表示,根据公司规定,CEO必须在65岁生日之前处理好一系列交接事宜。而他本人将在2021年7月6日庆祝65岁生日,因此这次交接很可能将在春、夏之间的年度股东大会进行。
Agon还补充,首席执行官的职责转移也在进行中,副首席执行官Nicolas Hieronimus是该职位最有竞争力的人选。
L'Oréal创立至今已有百余年历史,2019年集团收入达到298.7亿欧元,创十年来历史新高,同比增长8%。1978年,Paul Agon从HEC商学院毕业后加入了欧莱雅集团;2006年出任为L'Oréal集团首席执行官;2011年成为集团董事长兼首席执行官。
Paul Agon, who was named CEO of L’Oréal in 2006, then Chairman & CEO in 2011, will be leaving the global beauty giant in 2021. Agon said in an interview with French newspaper Le Monde that he will be replaced by summer 2021 and that the group would be giving priority to internal applications.
“The company statutes specify that everything has to be taken care of before the CEO reaches their 65th birthday. I will be celebrating that birthday on July 6, 2021. As a result, the handover will most likely be done between the AGM in spring, and the summer,” explained Agon, who joined the L’Oréal group after obtaining his degree from French business school HEC in 1978.
Agon added that a “decoupling” of the responsibilities of the CEO is also in the pipeline, with a chairman of the board of directors and a CEO set to be appointed. Deputy CEO Nicolas Hieronimus, in charge of Divisions since 2017, is a frontrunner for the position.
L’Oréal, which registered a record 29.87 billion euros in revenue in 2019, an increase of 8%, has only had five chairmen since its creation over 100 years ago.
