Italian court lifts oversight on Armani
21/02/2025
The Milan court had placed the unit under judicial oversight in April after an investigation revealed that it had subcontracted work to Chinese-owned companies accused of worker exploitation. In a recent statement, the court said Armani had implemented the necessary organisational and supplier control measures.
Judges noted that the company quickly severed ties with high-risk suppliers and introduced best practices that gained court approval. Giorgio Armani Operations welcomed the ruling, stating that two of its suppliers had violated the group's core values, but emphasised that its supply chain control system was already well-structured.
The decision follows a similar ruling in October that lifted court oversight of the Alviero Martini fashion brand. Meanwhile, an Italian subsidiary of French luxury group LVMH remains under judicial administration as investigations into labour practices in the country's luxury sector continue.
