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.
