LVMH · February 3, 2023 LVMH Group supports “Working with Cancer”, a Publicis Foundation’s initiative

On the occasion of World Cancer Day on February 4, LVMH announces its commitment to the "Working with Cancer" initiative, the first international coalition of companies to champion a more open, supportive and inclusive corporate culture for employees with cancer (read about the pledge here).

The initiative aims to end the stigma of cancer in the workplace and has attracted support from major companies and organizations such as Institut Gustave Roussy and the Cancer@Work association in France, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the US, and Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK.

The pledge is fully in line with LVMH's HR policy, supported by Chantal Gaemperle, Group EVP Human Resources and Synergies. It places support and attention to employees at the core of its actions, for example with the LVMH Heart Fund or the actions of its Disability Inclusion Office.

LVMH stands by its employees when they encounter health-related challenges in their personal lives, and fosters a culture where everyone feels heard, included and free to express themselves in a safe environment.

"Our support for this initiative was immediate, as it echoes our values and our Human Resources policy. Helping our employees, especially during times when they are vulnerable to illness, and fighting the stigma associated with it is necessary and is part of our commitment," comments Chantal Gaemperle.
