LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (Paris) has announced a five-year partnership with Vallée de la Millière, a 75-acre wetland located about an hour outside of Paris, home to more than 350 plant and animal species, WWD reports.

Vallée de la Millière is currently readying the wetland site for employee training and will host experiences for nongovernmental organizations, students and scientists beginning in 2024. LVMH plans to utilize this by providing biodiversity awareness and training for its roughly 200,000 employees.

Hélène Valade, LVMH’s Environmental Development Director, says the training programs will be tailored around employee functions. This includes procurement specialists evaluating suppliers of raw materials, sales associates responding to customer inquiries about a product’s eco credentials and logistics specialists navigating the most eco-friendly modes of product transport.

“Each employee can be an actor of change, and providing expert training is key … I think this amazing place will enable a reconnection with nature,” Valade said during the Change Now environmental summit that took place in Paris.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
