TOP 10 – SUSTAINABLE LUXURY GOODS COMPANIES

HEADQUARTERS: PARIS, FRANCE CEO: LUCA DE MEO FOUNDER: FRANÇOIS PINAULT

Founded in 1962 as a timber and building materials trader, Kering has transformed itself as a standard-bearer for modern, sustainable luxury. The company’ s sustainability ethos is built on the legacy of its previous CEO, François-Henri Pinault:“ Luxury and sustainability are one and the same.” Its portfolio of fashion houses – including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, McQueen, Pomellato and more – gives it both scale and visibility, while its corporate strategy has increasingly emphasised environmental accountability, traceability and responsible sourcing.

“ From the outset, our sustainability efforts have been guided by a sense of duty to be transparent, responsible, and accountable for the impacts across our entire value chain, while strengthening the long-lasting resilience of our Group’ s supply chain,” says Kering CEO Luca de Meo.
