DOLCE&GABBANA: TOWARDS A MORE TRANSPARENT AND TRACEABLE VALUE CHAIN
Visibility across the value chain is a priority for Dolce&Gabbana. The company has mapped its supplier base beyond the first tier, gaining a clearer picture of the origin of its purchases and their ESG characteristics. This mapping supports the supply chain monitoring program, which includes a structured plan of third-party audits.
Transparency remains a fundamental pillar of Dolce&Gabbana’s sustainability journey. Following the publication development of its first Sustainability Report, the Group continued to strengthen its reporting practices and governance framework. The Sustainability Report for FY2025/26 was prepared in substantial alignment with the proposed simplified European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and includes a comprehensive double materiality assessment covering impacts, risks and opportunities across the value chain. The report was approved by the Board of Directors and represents a significant step towards increasingly structured transparent and regulation-aligned sustainability reporting.
Dolce&Gabbana has also been awarded a Legality Rating of ★★+ by the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM), which recognizes companies’ compliance with legality and responsible business conduct requirements.
