Longchamp Becomes a B Corp™
At Longchamp, we think about objects in terms of their use and lifespan.
Made by Longchamp is an approach to design that always prioritises the quality materials, precise handiwork and repairability of pieces – right from their inception.
Marrying form and function, our items are created to be worn, mended and passed down.
This long-term vision relies on the Longchamp Family: the teams, workshops and crafts forming the lifeblood of the Maison, those who hand down their skills to the next generation. This is a collective endeavour, attentive to both personal development and perpetuating artisanal expertise.
B Corp Certification structures our socioenvironmental commitments and holds us accountable for how we move forward, methodically and responsibly. It also strengthens our ability to look at our designs, practices and impact through a long-term lens.
Longchamp has been and is committed to sustainable creativity.
For the last 78 years. And for a long time to come.
WHAT DOES B CORP MEAN?
B Corp is an independent international certification.
It evaluates the social and environmental practices of a company based on precise, measured and audited criteria.
The key principles are to recognise the standards already being met, structure commitments and encourage constant improvement.
WHAT THAT MEANS FOR LONGCHAMP
At Longchamp, being a certified B Corp doesn’t change who we are.
It simply recognises what we’re already doing and what we’ve already achieved. Like designing objects with a long-term future.
Choosing materials with care. Recycling. Repairing. Sharing knowledge and skills. Taking care of our teams, being mindful of equity. Supporting creativity.
It brings coherence and structure to the established and lasting approach taken by our teams, in all roles and countries.
It also creates a framework for moving forward. For the way in which we make things. The way in which we’ll continue to create, produce and mitigate the impact of what we do.
