Program targets circularity, biodiversity, sourcing, and climate for employees across functions.
Christian Dior Couture has partnered with the Institut Français de la Mode to launch a sustainability training initiative for employees worldwide. The Sustainability Fashion Leadership Program was unveiled in late May.
The program is part of Dior’s “Dream in Green” strategy and aligns with LVMH’s Life 360 environmental roadmap. Goal: embed sustainability across all business functions and translate environmental commitments into practical action.
Program Structure
Dior said the training will give employees access to sustainability-focused conferences and educational content developed with IFM, the French fashion and luxury education institution. Topics span design, merchandising, logistics, finance, legal, and supply chain operations.
A certified one-year training track has been created for a first cohort of 23 employees drawn from more than 15 departments. The curriculum is structured around four modules covering regulation, responsible sourcing and manufacturing, traceability, biodiversity, eco-design, circularity, climate, and sustainable performance. Participants will also receive coaching to develop projects for internal implementation.
Leadership Perspective
Clément Lefevre, chief sustainability officer at Christian Dior Couture, stated: “With ‘Dream in Green,’ we aim to train all our employees so that everyone can have a positive impact within their position. This training program, developed in collaboration with IFM, is thus designed as a driver for action, allowing teams to translate the house’s vision into concrete, innovative and meaningful initiatives.”
