Our verdict

Berluti publishes sustainability commitments but withholds the numbers that matter. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures are disclosed despite a 2022 carbon assessment. A 51% 2030 reduction target exists but lacks verification and shows no on-track evidence. Leather supply chain dominates material risk.

Berluti scores 37/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified May 2026.

That places Berluti joint 482nd of 934 companies scored, and joint 31st of 43 in Apparel (Durable / Outdoor).

What is Berluti doing well, and where does it fall short?
