In 2025, Lagardère continues to pursue its long-standing sustainable development strategy, now under the umbrella of its new parent company, the Louis Hachette Group, and its slogan “Cultures in Motion”, which embodies both the Group’s business lines and the way in which it operates them:
1. Fostering a culture of impact
The entire Group is adapting its business lines to decarbonise its operations and is thus contributing to the fight against climate change. Lagardère has set itself the target of reducing its CO₂ emissions by nearly 30% by 2030 (using 2019 as the baseline year). Each business division, in line with its specific characteristics, also works to conserve resources throughout the value chain: the circular economy for publishing and retail in the transport sector, and biodiversity for publishing exclusively.
2. Fostering a culture of talent
From creative business lines to stores, Lagardère fosters the fulfilment of its teams through well-being at work, career development and a healthy work-life balance. Furthermore, the Group is committed to celebrating diversity, identifying skills and encouraging innovation, with a particular focus on gender balance in the workplace and on Training, a key driver for ensuring equal opportunities.
3. Fostering a culture of openness
Through the content it produces and distributes, and through various partnerships and cultural and social engagement programmes, Lagardère supports diverse creativity and all the voices that give it expression. Promoting access to education, information, entertainment and culture for as many people as possible is also one of the key pillars of its strategy.
4. Fostering a culture of trust
The Lagardère group is committed to growing its businesses in accordance with best practices in quality, compliance and ethics, while endeavouring to seize all the opportunities that arise in addressing the related issues
