Moët Hennessy: Transforming Luxury

How do you redefine luxury in a world of urgent environmental
challenges? In this episode, I sit down with Philippe Schaus,
Chairman and CEO of Moët Hennessy and member of the
Executive Committee of LVMH, the world’s largest luxury group.
We explore how Moët Hennessy’s 27 iconic
maisons—including Veuve Clicquot, Belvedere Vodka,
and Dom Pérignon, many with over 300 years of heritage—are
innovating to preserve tradition while addressing the planet’s most
pressing challenges. Key Topics Covered: The State of the Soil:
"One gram of soil in your hand has as many organisms as there are
humans on earth." With 40% of the world’s soil degraded, Philippe
shares his vision for the World Living Soils Forum and
Moët Hennessy’s Living Soils, Living Together program.
Crafting a Sustainable Future: "Luxury is transmitting
craftsmanship to the consumer." Philippe reveals how Moët Hennessy
is ensuring future generations can continue to enjoy Dom Pérignon
and other fine wines centuries from now. Facing Climate Reality:
"Viticulture is responsible for 23% of carbon emissions. So, we
start in our maisons with ourselves." With global temperatures
rising, Philippe discusses Moët Hennessy’s approach to reducing
emissions while preparing for climate challenges that could
eliminate 56% of wine-growing regions. Sustainable Luxury in
Action: From water conservation to circular economies and optimized
supply chains, Moët Hennessy is leading the charge for responsible
luxury. Collaboration for Change: Transparency, partnerships, and
openness are key to Moët Hennessy’s vision for building a
sustainable future.  Philippe’s Honest Reflections:
"Complexity keeps all leaders awake at night." Philippe offers rare
insights into the challenges and opportunities of leading
transformative change in global luxury. Join us for this
thought-provoking episode as we explore Commitment,
Complexity, and Collaboration and uncover how Moët Hennessy is
redefining tradition for a sustainable tomorrow.
