OURMILESTONES
From the urgency of climate change and biodiversity loss to the critical social issues that have risen to the forefront – our world, and our industry, is at a crossroads. Stepping away from the old, traditional systems in fashion and embracing – and driving – real, lasting change is part of a future we collectively and quickly need to transition to.
In our inaugural Gucci Equilibrium Impact Report we are highlighting a selection of the initiatives we have created to generate positive change for people and our planet. We focus on the issues that have the biggest positive impact and where we have the greatest opportunity to create long-lasting change.
2020 PEOPLEHIGHLIGHTS

Our combined differences are what allow us to thrive and we foster an environment that is respectful, inclusive and diverse, where everyone is considered equal.
