Environmental Endeavours with Gucci’s New Circular Manufacturing Push
In partnership with parent company, Kering, Italian fashion house Gucci has launched a new production hub that centres on propagating sustainable practice by turning the concept of a circular economy into a viable, functioning financial ethos for high-end Italian manufacturing.

In this endeavour, Gucci and Kering have the potential to usher in a new mode of fashion production that sees companies taking on more responsibility than they currently do when it comes to the waste involved in luxury garment creation. Inevitably, the hub will improve its own sustainability performance through this promotion of natural resources, reducing pollution, emissions, and overall waste; however, Gucci also hopes the hub will serve as a figurehead for the ‘circular Made In Italy’ movement.
Antonella Centra, executive vice president, general counsel, corporate affairs and sustainability at Gucci says: “The hub will enable the entire luxury supply chain and especially the small and medium-sized enterprises — the beating heart of our country’s industry — to play an active role, with the innovative spirit that makes Italian know-how unique in the world.”
