Ermenegildo Zegna Sustainability Commitments
2023
Appoint a DE&I officer
Zegna said it would appoint a DE&I Officer and governance structure by early 2023 to manage its diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. DE&I means making sure people from different backgrounds are treated fairly and have equal chances at work. The commitment was presented as part of the company’s wider ESG plan and board oversight structure.
2024
Share supplier ESG data
By 2024, Zegna said it would use an open digital platform so suppliers could share energy, water, chemical, emissions, and product certification data. The company said this would cover at least 30% of its supply volume. This kind of platform can help a brand see more clearly where impacts happen in its supply chain and where risks may sit.
2024
Use renewable electricity
Zegna said it aimed to source 100% of its electricity in Europe and the US from renewable sources by 2024, then extend that to all operations by 2027. Renewable electricity comes from sources like wind or solar rather than fossil fuels. The target was part of the company’s climate plan.
2026
Trace key raw materials
By 2026, Zegna said more than half of its top-priority raw materials would be traceable to their point of origin, rising to more than 95% by 2030. Traceability means being able to follow a material back to where it came from. This matters because it can help a company check environmental and labour risks in its supply chain.
2030
Reach deeper material traceability
Zegna said it would exceed 95% traceability for top-priority raw materials by 2030. This is a longer-term extension of its supply chain tracking plan. It suggests the company wants much more visibility over where its key inputs come from and how they are produced.
2050
Move toward net zero
A Zegna sustainability leader said the group is progressing toward net-zero emissions by 2050, with targets verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a group that checks whether climate targets match climate science. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest. The source does not give full target details here, but it shows a long-term climate direction.
