Abstract
Despite the increased attention on sustainable luxury in recent times, little is known about how luxury firms are reporting and communicating sustainability to their stakeholders. This study directly responds to calls for clearer, specific and comprehensive reporting of environmental practices, along with the assertion that sustainability practices are particularly underreported in the clothing industry. By addressing this scholar omission in current theorising, the study draws upon extant literature on sustainability reporting and luxury to investigate the sustainability communications of two of the world’s largest luxury conglomerates, LVMH and Kering that claim to place sustainability at the core of their business. Following a thorough discourse analysis of all official LVMH and Kering sustainability reports available online, the study questions whether luxury can be truly sustainable and raises a conceptual dichotomy of luxury and sustainability.
