I want to be a part of what is to come
Our sustainability ambition is focused on the areas where we believe Chanel can have the greatest positive impact: restoring nature, protecting climate, investing in circularity; and supporting dignity and opportunity for all, particularly the autonomy of women.
As we face the urgent challenges of today and the future, we aim to be a part of what must come: a world where people, nature and business thrive together.

restoring nature & climate
Our House, our people and the health of our planet depend on nature. We source natural ingredients and materials for our products, and we look to the beauty of the natural world to inspire our creativity.
We are reducing the impact of our activities and operations and going beyond our own footprint to accelerate progress. We have set a goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain by 2040.
We prioritise where we can have the greatest positive impact: evolving our business to low-carbon solutions; collaborating with our partners, suppliers, and the wider industry to address challenges; and investing in regenerative practices and nature-based solutions for our supply chains and landscapes, while supporting a just transition to a net-zero world.
Investing in Circularity
As a house of luxury, exceptional product creation is part of our savoir-faire.
We are exploring opportunities to maximise the durability and lifecycles of our products, materials and spaces, to help reduce our impact on nature. We are focused on caring for our creations so that they can be passed down over generations, while investing in the transformation towards circular systems.
Advancing Dignity & Opportunity
People are at the heart of Chanel, from the flower growers in our Open Sky Laboratories, to the artisans whose specialist skills have been honed and passed down over decades, the people working within our supply chains and those in our boutiques who shape our clients’ experiences.
For more than 100 years, we have strived to respect and invest in the people and communities that are behind our brand. We believe everyone - within and beyond - our House should be treated with dignity and respect and have the opportunity to thrive.
Promoting the Autonomy of Women
Chanel was founded by Gabrielle Chanel, who reimagined creations for women and shaped her own destiny.
Women remain at the heart of everything we do. Ensuring that women have an equal voice and are safe to make the choices they want to in life is deeply rooted in our heritage. Today, we support women within and beyond our House in their self-determination, with the objective to advance the impact that gender equality brings to the world.
