Bottega Veneta SA Sustainability Actions

Used lower-impact materials

Bottega Veneta has used some lower-impact materials in its products, including organic cotton, jute, linen, ramie, recycled polyester, and regenerated nylon. It has also used biodegradable polymer in footwear such as the Puddle Boot, which is a material designed to break down more easily at the end of its life. These choices suggest the brand has tried to reduce the impact of some products, even though it still uses many conventional and animal-based materials.

Reused textile offcuts

Good On You says the brand reuses some of its textile offcuts, meaning leftover fabric pieces from production. Reusing scraps can cut waste because fewer new materials need to be made and less fabric ends up thrown away. This is a practical circularity step, but the available information does not show how much waste this prevents across the full business.

Set climate targets via Kering

The brand is part of Kering, and third-party sources say it has a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both direct operations and its supply chain. Science-based targets are climate goals that follow a method used to align company cuts with climate science. However, the same source says there is no public evidence that Bottega Veneta is on track, and no detailed emissions data is available for the brand itself.

Added worker complaint channels

Good On You reports that Bottega Veneta has an internal grievance mechanism for workers in its supply chain. A grievance mechanism is a way for workers to report problems such as harassment or unpaid wages without naming themselves. The brand also audits some of its supply chain, including all of the final production stage, and its code of conduct covers the ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms, which are basic worker rights set by the International Labour Organization.

Adopted animal welfare policy

The brand has a formal animal welfare policy aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare, a framework that looks at an animal’s physical and mental wellbeing. This matters because Bottega Veneta uses leather and other animal-derived materials. The policy shows the brand has at least some formal rules in this area, even though Good On You still rates its animal practices poorly overall.
