- This is an unclaimed profile. Bulgari has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Bulgari shows a mixed sustainability picture. Independent ratings say the brand has some useful environmental policies, but also major gaps in worker protection and animal welfare. Good On You rates it “Not good enough,” mainly because it does not show enough evidence on living wages, supplier transparency, or strong animal welfare standards. On the other hand, third-party reporting says Bulgari has moved to renewable power at its production sites, uses plastic-free packaging in some lines, and is working on traceability and emissions cuts. The brand is also linked to wider LVMH sustainability goals and has created a sustainability-focused internal report and sub-brand. Overall, the public record shows progress, but not enough proof to call its ESG approach strong. Positive Sentiment Found Publicly available third-party coverage shows some positive signs around Bulgari’s sustainability work. Good On You says the brand uses some lower-impact materials, has set a science-based target to cut greenhouse gas emissions in its direct operations and supply chain, and has a biodiversity policy that applies across its supply chain. The same source notes recycled packaging and some supply-chain auditing. In press coverage, Bulgari has also said it runs on renewable electricity at its production sites, has introduced plastic-free packaging, and is working on traceability for materials. These points suggest real operational changes, even if the evidence is uneven. Common Criticisms: The main negative signal comes from Good On You, which rates Bulgari “Not good enough” overall. It says the brand is not taking adequate steps to ensure a living wage for workers, does not publish a full breakdown of suppliers, and gives no clear evidence that workers in its supply chain are paid living wages. It also says Bulgari audits only some of its supply chain without saying how much, and that it did not disclose enough worker safeguards during the COVID-19 pandemic. On animal welfare, Good On You says the brand uses leather, wool, cashmere, crocodile skin, and other animal materials, but its policy is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare, a framework for assessing animal wellbeing.

Bulgari Sustainability Commitments
2026
Cut emissions by half
Bulgari said it aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from energy use at its production sites and boutiques by 50% by 2026, compared with 2019 levels. This target is tied to its use of renewable electricity and sits within LVMH’s wider climate plan. The goal covers direct operations and stores, not the full supply chain.
2026
Reach zero virgin plastic
Bulgari said it is contributing to LVMH’s goal of zero virgin plastic by 2026. Virgin plastic means new plastic made from fossil fuels, not recycled material. The brand said it started removing single-use plastics from offices, boutiques, and production sites in 2019 and is sharing internal guidance to support the shift.
2026
Add product traceability IDs
Bulgari said it plans to create a dedicated identification system on all new products by 2026. The aim is to make materials easier to trace, similar to the tracking already used for gold. This would help the brand follow raw materials through the supply chain and support due diligence, which means checking for risks such as poor labour or sourcing practices.
