PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT

ENVIRONMENT

ACTIONS

BIODIVERSITY

Our approach to protecting ecosystems is guided by Richemont’s Environmental Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC). These frameworks provide a foundation for assessing environmental risks, encouraging our partners to minimize their impact on natural habitats and to seek opportunities for conservation within their activities.

Richemont undertook an initial biodiversity screening to assess its biodiversity impact and identify high priority risks and opportunities across its supply chains. Building on this foundation, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched its biodiversity action plan in 2025, informed by a detailed expert inventory conducted in 2024. During Fiscal Year 2026, practical measures implemented at the Maisons’ manufacturing sites included the installation of nesting boxes, the planting of native shrubs, the adoption of differentiated mowing techniques, and the creation of dedicated wildlife shelters.

Furthermore, our redesigned watch box represents a 93% reduction in its plastic footprint. Within our Manufacture, we are systematically phasing out single-use plastics by transitioning to refillable glass bottles and reusable mugs.

ENERGY & CLIMATE

Towards a Low-Carbon Manufacture

Reducing our carbon footprint across our direct operations is an ongoing journey that demonstrates how traditional craftsmanship and performance energy solutions can seamlessly coexist.

Transition to Renewable Heating

A landmark milestone was reached by connecting our manufacturing facility to the Le Sentier biomass district heating network in October 2024, replacing our legacy oil-fired system. This transition enabled the Manufacture to report zero Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion within agreed parameters in 2025. This connection saves approximately 130,000 litres of fuel oil and avoids around 350 tCO2e of emissions annually.

Local Commitments Fulfilled

We successfully achieved the targets of our Target Agreement established with the local authorities for the 2016–2025 period. This success was made possible through the rigorous implementation of 67 distinct energy performance actions across our facilities.

Building Energy Conservation

Our structural renovations continue to drive daily resource efficiency. Notably, we continuously invest in the architectural preservation of our historic Manufacture, ensuring that the protection of our physical heritage goes hand-in-hand with modern standards of thermal efficiency and energy optimization.
