All employees must be involved in initiatives to combat climate change. But it’s important that they understand why. Education and training are vital in dealing with these challenges. By the end of 2023, 100% of our employees in France and 59% of our employees abroad had participated in a Climate Fresk session. The three-hour workshop involves groups of 4 to 7 people connecting 42 illustrated cards in an effort to learn more about the cause-and-effect relationships between people’s actions and climate change. It’s a fun way to approach an essential topic, and it has already had an impact on hundreds of thousands of participants around the world. 

In 2023, Berluti provided their teams with a way to develop their career while taking into account the planet’s limitations thanks to specialized training in ecodesign. Since June of 2023, the Visual Merchandising and Architecture teams, as well as the personnel in charge of designing and developing new products (Shoes, Ready-to-Wear and Leather Goods) have received training about the circular economy and product life cycle.

Transmitting unparalleled know-how while contributing to the professional integration of its students is the dual vocation of the Académie du Savoir-Faire. This prestigious course began at the Berluti Manifattura in 2012, through a partnership between Berluti, the Centoform training institute and the Emilia Romagna region.

During a 400-hour theoretical and practical training program, future bootmakers learn the unique art of cutting, stitching, assembling and patinating. Their work is carried out under the benevolent yet highly demanding supervision of the Maison's master craftsmen. The final examination provides a qualification recognized throughout Europe. But only the best candidates obtain the Certificate of Excellence, which opens the doors to the Berluti Manifattura. The Academy joined the LVMH group's Institute of Métiers d'Excellence in November 2018.

Since 2014, the LVMH Institute of Métiers d’Excellence has been training young generations and people undergoing retraining in unique craftsmanship, creation and sales skills. It now offers 31 training programs in France, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. The ME Institute was designed to ensure the continuity of the professions of excellence that have made the reputation of the group's Maisons, to transmit know-how and to develop the employability of its students.

Recruitment to the ME Institute is based on the principle of equal opportunity. The institute seeks to attract top talents from all over the world, ensuring the arrival of people with diverse origins and cultures within the companies while maintaining demanding and objective selection criteria.
