Longchamp is pleased to have achieved B-Corp™ certification. This international label, awarded by an independent organization, evaluates a company’s social, environmental, community and governance practices as a whole. For Longchamp, B-Corp™ certification means recognition and appreciation of a long-standing approach based on quality, long-term perspective and team commitment.
B-CORP™ – A framework and expression of a long-lasting commitment
The B-Corp™ certification is based on the assessment of over 300 criteria that cover all activities of the company, from design and production to purchasing, sales, human resources and corporate management in the studios, headquarters and individual points of sale.
Longchamp’s CSR strategy, led by Adrien Cassegrain, Director Transformation & CSR, is intended to firmly anchor social and societal aspects in the corporate strategy. The aim is to make decisions in such a way that the long-term performance of the company is secured. In this context, B-Corp™ certification offers a valuable tool: it makes commitments tangible, highlights areas of action and supports informed decisions by regularly monitoring key figures and continually reviewing practices.
“The B-Corp™ certification offers us a clear, independent framework to translate our beliefs into concrete and measurable actions. It is the visible expression of a commitment that has always been lived at Longchamp. This recognition recognizes our efforts to date and at the same time commits us to continuously work to systematically integrate CSR aspects into our decisions and their long-term impact.” – Adrien Cassegrain
For 78 years and beyond
Longchamp Family: The teams, studios and departments that preserve artisanal techniques and promote their organic development
Made by Longchamp: The expression of precise craftsmanship, careful selection of materials and a consistent focus on repairability and passing on, always with sustainable creation in mind
Longchamp Family: Our teams and our social commitment
An approach by and for the teams – The social commitment at Longchamp is supported by all employees, united in the Longchamp Family, from design and production to the stores. The focus is on people. Both shared and individual needs are taken into account, and personal and professional development are a priority. Important initiatives include Mission Handicap and the Women Program. In an environment where 68% of managers are women, the program includes, among other things, parental support, breast cancer prevention, measures against sexism and emergency assistance for victims of domestic violence. Skill development, employability, independence and well-being in the workplace are supported through regular training, a management program launched in 2025 and structured social dialogue.
Artistic support and space for creativity – Longchamp’s social commitment focuses on supporting creative talent. This ranges from craftsmanship in collaboration with the NGO Anaka to design and fashion, but also through participation on the jury of the ANDAM Prize. Artistic partnerships have always been part of Longchamp’s history and are intended to make art accessible to a wide audience. Examples of this include the collaboration with the photographer Thandiwe Muriu, the support of the WAX exhibition at the Musée de l’Homme and, most recently, the recognition of the painter Genevieve Claisse with a retrospective.
Made by Longchamp: savoir-faire and environmental commitments
A lasting design principle – For 78 years, Longchamp has been designing perfectly formed, well-thought-out objects whose design is focused on function and durability. The house, which carries Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) status, values carefully selected materials, high quality workmanship and precise craftsmanship, cultivated in the ateliers through a strong commitment to training. For example, the AFEST program employs 70 trainers to pass on leather craft techniques.
Producing for today and tomorrow – sustainability is taken into account from the start; it is a fundamental principle and the natural continuation of design and savoir-faire. Each piece goes through a preparatory life cycle analysis, which takes into account the use of sustainable and traceable materials. These are audited via recognized certifications such as the Leather Working Group (88% of Longchamp leathers have gold status) as well as initiatives such as Unfold, which ensure complete transparency in traceability. Since 2022, Longchamp has been relying on circular economy with the Re-Play line: The collection follows the principle of waste avoidance and uses surplus materials from the Longchamp archive.
“Longchamp’s style combines dynamism and timelessness. For us, creating long-lasting products is both a vision and a living tradition. Our commitment to sustainability motivates us to create beautiful and functional objects without sacrificing innovation or our love of fashion – products for confident, modern women who are aware of the challenges of our time.” – Sophie Delafontaine, Creative Director
Repair as a central service – Longchamp products are designed to last and also benefit from an active repair policy. In 2025, 80,000 products were repaired worldwide in a network of 33 repair centers. To reduce environmental impact, Longchamp pursues a regionalization strategy for its repair centers in Europe, the USA and Asia, thereby avoiding unnecessary, energy-intensive transport.
Climate: measure, reduce, move forward – in 2024 Longchamp made significant progress, reducing its emissions by 9% compared to 2023. With the Climate Strategy 2033, the company is pursuing the goal of reducing absolute CO₂e emissions in Scope 1 and 2 by 95% by 2033. During the same period, emissions caused by air freight (Scope 3) should also be reduced by 60%. This is supported by structural operational measures and stronger performance management.
