Resumo: | The present dissertation outlines the incorporation of sustainable development in luxury goods industries and hence, seeks to find an answer as to whether the dimensions of luxury and sustainability have a common ground. In analyzing the luxury industry, this dissertation employs a case study approach in order to critically analyze practical sustainable activities. LVMH, as the world’s largest luxury group, is portrayed as for the macro perspective of the industry and Guerlain, LVMH’s prestige Perfume & Cosmetics brand, is analyzed as for luxury’s micro perspective. Prior to the case study, literature on the fusion of sustainable development and luxury is presented and highlights findings on both, possible contradictions and parallels, between the two concepts. Furthermore, the literature review sketches findings on the sustainable luxury customer and eventually looks at the company respectively industry side, in analyzing the implementation of sustainable development at luxury industries. With the help of the literature findings and case study, the teaching questions eventually present what critical activities and organizational structures enable a luxury group respectively company to act sustainable along its entire value chain accordingly to its business context. Furthermore, this dissertation outlines how a luxury company can adapt the right communication and marketing strategy in order to both, communicate its sustainability approach and at the same time remain its exclusivity. Finally, the concepts of luxury and sustainable development are analyzed in terms of their convergence. |

Can green and gold go hand in hand? : the implementation of sustainable development in the Luxury Goods Industry : the case of LVMH and GuerlainDomínio/Área Científica::Ciências Sociais::Economia e GestãoThe present dissertation outlines the incorporation of sustainable development in luxury goods industries and hence, seeks to find an answer as to whether the dimensions of luxury and sustainability have a common ground.

Ao analisar a indústria de luxo, esta dissertação emprega um estudo de caso a fim de avaliar criticamente atividades sustentáveis práticas. LVMH, como o maior grupo de produtos de luxo do mundo, é retratada como uma perspectiva macro dessa indústria, enquanto a Guerlain, prestigiada marca de Perfumes e Cosmética da LVMH, é analisada numa micro perspectiva. Anteriormente ao caso de estudo, é apresentada bibliográfica sobre a fusão entre desenvolvimento sustentável e luxo, e são apontados em ambos, paralelos e contradições entre os dois conceitos. Além disso, a revisão bibliográfica esboça aspetos no consumidor do luxo sustentável, e eventualmente olha para o lado empresarial, ao analisar a implementação do desenvolvimento sustentável nas indústrias de luxo. Com o suporte da bibliografia e da análise do estudo de caso da LVMH e Guerlain, as questões apresentam quais atividades e estruturas organizacionais permitem uma companhia de um grupo de consumo de luxo agir sustentavelmente ao longo de toda sua cadeia de valor. Ademais, esta dissertação apresenta como uma empresa de luxo pode adaptar uma correta comunicação e estratégias de marketing a fim de, comunicar sua abordagem sustentável, e ao mesmo tempo, manter sua exclusividade. Finalmente, os conceitos de luxo e desenvolvimento sustentável são analisados no âmbito de suas convergências.Pinheiro, Susana Frazão Ferreira FernandesVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaHeimig, Maximilian Andreas2016-05-04T10:00:12Z2016-02-1820152016-02-18T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/20047TID:201171635enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:25:47Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/20047Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:16:33.878692Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
