Gucci president and CEO Marco Bizzarri recently unveiled details of the company’s new ten-year ‘culture of purpose’ sustainability plan with commitments to join the Fur Free Alliance eliminating animal fur from its products beginning early next year and contributing Euro 1 million as a founding partner of UNICEF’s Girls’ Empowerment Initiative.

The announcement came on the occasion of the International Day of the Girl on October 11, on which the 2017 Kering Talk was organized at the London College of Fashion, according to a press release from international luxury group Kering.

The plan is focused on three pillars: environment, humanity and new models.

Gucci is committed to reducing its environmental impact and guaranteeing the traceability of 95 per cent of its raw materials. It recognises the value of its employees and is dedicated to responsible and innovative management of the supply chain, gender equality, diversity and inclusion. It is also developing new solutions by applying technical innovation to improve efficiency in its production and logistics. (DS)
