Kering's Long-Standing Commitment to Materials Innovation

The luxury goods group Kering, home to high-end fashion brands like Gucci, has been consistently focusing on materials innovation as a key strategy to reduce its environmental footprint. This commitment is now paying off, as reported by Trellis.

Steady Adoption of Sustainable Materials

  • Recycled Materials: Kering's brands are increasingly incorporating recycled materials into their products. This not only reduces waste but also lowers the emissions associated with extracting and processing raw materials.
  • Regenerative Fibers: The group is sourcing fibers through regenerative agriculture practices, which capture carbon and restore biodiversity, further enhancing its positive environmental impact.

These initiatives are part of Kering's broader sustainability strategy, which aligns with the European Green Deal and the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

By chipping away at emissions through materials innovation, Kering is setting a strong example for the fashion industry and demonstrating that sustainability can be a competitive advantage.
