Our verdict

Givenchy publishes no brand-level emissions data despite being a major luxury fashion house. Its parent LVMH shows mixed climate progress—Scope 1+2 cuts offset by flat Scope 3 absolute emissions and intensity-based targets that sidestep real reduction. Supply chain deforestation linkage unresolved; exotic animal materials and limited supplier transparency are persistent gaps.

Givenchy scores 28/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified May 2026.

That places Givenchy joint 731st of 934 companies scored, and 10th of 18 in Apparel (Fast Fashion).
