Became a Strategic Partner of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to accelerate our vision of circularity. We also received the Climate Action Award presented at the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards in recognition of our commitment to regenerative agriculture and, as the first and only luxury brand, we were named one of the 2022 Best Places to Work For Disability Inclusion in North America by the Disability Equality Index. We achieved this recognition for our DE&I commitment for the second year in 2023.

2022

Joined UN Women’s Generation Equality Action Coalitions as private sector lead of the Feminist Movements & Leadership Action Coalition, a 5-year commitment to accelerate actions and global commitments toward gender equality by 2026. We also launched Gucci’s Natural Climate Solutions Portfolio to protect and restore critical forests and mangroves, while also investing in regenerative agriculture.

2021

Launched Gucci Changemakers Volunteering Program to make a difference in communities. At the same time, we launched the Gucci Changemakers North American Impact Fund and Scholarship Program in the United States. Furthermore, we set up a Global Equity Board to define DE&I priorities and held the first-ever ISO 20121 certified fashion show in 2019, extending it to advertising campaigns from 2020.

2019

We’ve been working towards ensuring 100% of our raw materials can be traced through our entire supply chain by 2025. We achieved 99% overall traceability in 2023.

2016

Launched our 10-year 'Culture of Purpose' sustainability strategy and committed to ambitious targets, including reducing our total footprint by -40% and greenhouse gas emissions by -50% since 2015, relative to growth, while also achieving gender parity by 2025. In 2020, we surpassed our total reduction target four years ahead of time reaching a -44% reduction and, in 2023, we attained a -78% reduction of absolute greenhouse gas emissions in scopes 1 and 2 of the GHG Protocol since 2015.

2015

Together with co-founders Salma Hayek Pinault and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, we launched CHIME FOR CHANGE to convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for gender equality. As of 2023, we’ve raised more than $22.7 million USD supporting over 530 projects worldwide, positively impacting more than 645,000 women and girls, reaching more than 3 million family and communities members.

2013

Began experimenting with innovative materials, such as using a compostable bio-plastic in our footwear. Since then, we became the first luxury brand, in 2016, to use ECONYL© recycled nylon in ready-to-wear, and, in 2021, we presented our new animal-free and eco-friendlier material DEMETRA. We launched the reconsidered Gucci Horsebit 1955 made with DEMETRA in 2023.

2012

Received the ISO14001 (Environmental Management System) certification and started using our Environmental Profit & Loss accounting to measure our impact on the environment. We extended the annual measurement of our footprint to incorporate the entire supply chain, analysing greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, water and air pollution, waste production and land use.

2011

Launched our sustainable mobility initiatives and, as of 2023, around 67% of our company cars were electric or hybrid vehicles.
