Responsible Materials

Dolce&Gabbana combines the quality of its materials with clear sourcing criteria. Through its Preferred Material List and its Restricted Substances List, the Group guides the choice of raw materials toward certified options and sets requirements for the chemical safety of its products.

Dolce&Gabbana continues to prioritize high-quality materials, working mainly with Italian suppliers and strengthening the traceability of its supply chain. With the introduction of the Preferred Material List, the Group favors certified raw materials and materials with specific attributes, such as recycled content or renewable origin.

In fiscal year 2025/26, the Group purchased 1,246 tonnes of raw materials, approximately 88% of which were used in production, including 260 tonnes of fabrics. Of these fabrics, 89% were made from fibers of renewable (natural) origin, increasing by 4% compared to the previous fiscal year.

Dolce&Gabbana works with tanneries committed to high environmental and social standards: 99% of the leather purchased comes from Leather Working Group (LWG) certified tanneries, 50% of which hold Gold certification. This supports the Group’s goal of an increasingly traceable leather supply chain.

In fiscal year 2025/26, the Group used 155 tonnes of packaging materials, with a focus on recycled, recyclable and certified materials and on reducing single-use virgin plastic. 84% of the plastic purchased was recycled, and all paper and cardboard packaging used for products and in the retail channel was FSC certified.
