PARIS (Archyde.com) – LVMH presented a plan on Thursday to reduce its energy consumption by 10% between October 2022 and October 2023 thanks to the extinction of the night lighting of its stores in France and the reduction in temperature interior in its premises.
The luxury giant, which operates 522 stores and 110 production sites in France, will turn off the lights in its stores between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., and from 9 p.m. on its administrative sites, he said in a press release.
LVMH will also lower the indoor temperature by one degree Celsius in winter in all of its industrial sites, administrative sites and stores and will increase it by one degree in summer to delay the triggering of the air conditioning.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne urged companies at the end of August to draw up energy saving plans in the face of the risk of a disruption in Russian gas supplies in the context of the Ukrainian conflict.
The night lighting of illuminated advertisements and signs and non-residential buildings is already strictly regulated https://www.demarches.interieur.gouv.fr/professionnels/publicites-enseignements-batiments-professionnels-quel-eclairage-nocturne in France under penalties.
