Valentino releases its first sustainability report
29/11/2023
The document has been produced in line with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. It relays the results of 151 social and environmental audits, taking 90% of the leathergoods, footwear and fashion company’s Italy-based raw material and components suppliers, plus manufacturers, into account.
Valentino is targeting 100% traceability for key raw materials such as leather, wool and silk by the year 2030. Another goal is to train 80% of staff in the business’ sustainable strategy, which it calls Let the Beauty Prosper, by 2026. The group made a list of its first-tier suppliers, correct as of March, public earlier this year.
A joint statement from creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and chief executive Jacopo Venturini read: “As a Maison de Couture, it is important for us to keep developing sustainably, while building resiliency and maintaining repeatable, ethical and responsible growth.
“We have a duty and an opportunity to keep raising the bar with constant improvement.”
