PARIS — Christian Dior Couture has partnered with the Institut Français de la Mode to launch a sustainability training initiative aimed at equipping employees across the business with the skills needed to navigate the fashion industry’s environmental transition.
The Sustainability Fashion Leadership Program, unveiled in late May, will provide Dior employees worldwide with access to sustainability-focused conferences and educational content developed with IFM, the French fashion and luxury education institution. The initiative forms part of Dior’s broader sustainability strategy, “Dream in Green,” and aligns with parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s Life 360 environmental roadmap.

“With ‘Dream in Green,’ we aim to train all our employees so that everyone can have a positive impact within their position,” said Clément Lefevre, chief sustainability officer at Christian Dior Couture. “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.”
A certified one-year training track has been created for a first cohort of 23 employees drawn from more than 15 departments. Structured around four modules, topics including regulation, responsible sourcing and manufacturing, traceability, biodiversity, eco-design, circularity, climate and sustainable performance will be covered. Participants will also receive coaching to develop projects intended for implementation within the company.
