Climate Action
DOLCE&GABBANA IS PURSUING A DECARBONIZATION PATHWAY BASED ON SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS, MEASURING ITS EMISSIONS AND ACTING ON ENERGY, OPERATIONS AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
Dolce&Gabbana’s Climate Action strategy addresses greenhouse gas emissions generated directly by its operations (Scope 1), those associated with purchased energy (Scope 2) and those arising along its value chain (Scope 3). The Group’s main levers are the increasing use of renewable electricity, energy efficiency initiatives and collaboration with suppliers on emissions measurement and reduction.

DOLCE&GABBANA’S DECARBONIZATION JOURNEY
Dolce&Gabbana began measuring its greenhouse gas emissions in 2022, establishing its first baseline in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the internationally recognized standard for GHG accounting and reporting. The baseline is being updated every year.
In July 2026, the Group’s near-term emission reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The validated targets are:
– Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50.0% by FY2035 from a FY2025 base year;
– Reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and fuel and energy-related activities 30.0% within the same timeframe.
To work towards these targets, Dolce&Gabbana is increasing the share of renewable electricity, investing in energy efficiency and engaging its suppliers in emissions measurement and reduction. The Group is also developing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies to better understand the climate impacts of its products and identify the main reduction opportunities.
Dolce&Gabbana Carbon Footprint in FY26
During FY2025/26, the Group’s total carbon footprint, calculated using the market-based approach for Scope 2 emissions, amounted to 245,542 tonnes of CO₂e, representing a 22% reduction compared with the previous fiscal year. This change is mainly attributable to the rationalization of purchases and the normalization of the Beauty business.
Scope 3 emissions continued to account for the largest share of the Group’s carbon footprint, representing 97% of total emissions. In particular, the “Purchased Goods and Services” category remained the primary source of emissions, highlighting the central role of the supply chain in Dolce&Gabbana’s decarbonisation journey.
FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) emissions, primarily associated with natural raw materials, amounted to 29,659 tonnes of CO₂e and represented 12% of the Group’s total carbon footprint.
