BEE Retail’s project—Parfums Christian Dior K11 in Hong Kong—has been awarded Best Store for the Environment, Store of the Year at the 2024 LIFE 360 in Stores Awards by LVMH.
This prestigious biannual event, launched in 2016, celebrates stores that have made significant progress in sustainability, honoring those that achieve the highest results in eight sustainability categories: Collaborative Governance, Smart Building Facade, Energy Synergy, Water Stewardship, Lighting the Way, The Air We Share, Sustainable by Design, and Smart Maintenance. The Parfums Christian Dior K11 store achieved the highest score across all criteria.
“We are incredibly proud of our stores, which embody LVMH’s core values of creativity, innovation, and excellence,” said Antoine Arnault, LVMH Image & Environment. “Our commitment to sustainability involves ensuring the environmental performance of over 6,000 of our Maisons’ stores worldwide, collaborating with key partners to meet our environmental goals, particularly in combating climate change.”
Parfums Christian Dior K11 was a pioneering project that adopted an updated version of the LVMH “LIFE in Architecture” Sustainable Store Planning Standard from the early design stage. Led by Andy Leng, the project team conducted a pre-design audit to establish key sustainability plans, achieving high energy efficiency, lighting quality, and water conservation. Innovative strategies, such as fresh air supply, air quality monitoring, and a customer reuse program, support carbon reduction and enhance health and well-being.
“We are incredibly proud to have contributed to Dior Parfums achieving store of the year in 2024 and grateful to support LVMH’s store sustainability journey since 2017. We look forward to many more collaborations with the group and Maisons’, – Maxime Pruvost, Co-Founder, BEE Retail.
