Valentino S.p.A. sustainability score: 34/100

Total Scope 1+2+3 emissions fell 6% (254,928 to 239,372 tCO2e, 2022–2023). Limited assurance obtained on carbon footprint. Individual Scope 1 and Scope 2 figures not separately disclosed in public sources. Methodology and scope breakdown lack full transparency despite GRI alignment.

Over 70% of key raw materials (leather, fabrics) traceable as of 2023. First Supplier Summit held with ~100 partners. Scope 3 emissions included in total 239,372 tCO2e but category breakdown not publicly disclosed. No verified supplier emissions reduction programme evidenced.

6% absolute emissions reduction (2022–2023) confirmed. Multi-year trend unclear; 2021 baseline referenced but comparative data sparse. 5.5% revenue decline undermines operational improvement isolation. No SBTi commitment or 1.5°C pathway.

90% renewable electricity for Italian headquarters and boutiques confirmed. Global operations substantially lower renewable share. Group target: 90% renewable by 2030. Seven stores obtained LEED certification in 2023. Not RE100 member; no PPAs or additionality evidence for international operations.

Supply chain relies on leather, wool, cashmere, silk, down, crocodile, snakeskin—all high land-use and ecosystem risk. Good On You rates brand 'Not Good Enough' on planet criteria. Fur banned (2021); alpaca, angora discontinued (2022). No TNFD disclosure, deforestation commitment, biodiversity quantification, or exotic skin phase-out.

Circular creativity initiatives recover show set materials and textile offcuts. Valentino Sleeping Stock and Vintage projects extend garment life. Few lower-impact materials used; no aggregate breakdown disclosed. No measurable circular targets with verified outcomes; basic waste management only.

No water consumption data, targets, or stewardship programme published. Good On You confirms no evidence of meaningful water reduction action. Leather tanning and textile dyeing carry high water pollution risk. No water-related KPIs, discharge compliance, or watershed engagement evidenced.

Targets: 90% renewable energy by 2030; 100% key material traceability by 2030; 45% emissions reduction from raw materials (projected estimate). No SBTi submission, net-zero commitment, or science-based validation. No interim milestones or third-party verification.

Annual Sustainability Reports published since 2022 (GRI-aligned). Carbon footprint received limited (not reasonable) assurance. Sustainability Board and Ethics Committee established. No evidence of executive pay linked to sustainability targets; no separate TCFD/CSRD; no B Corp status.

May 2025: Milan court placed Valentino Bags Lab Srl (subsidiary) under one-year judicial administration after finding systemic failure to oversee supply chain. 67 workers exploited in Chinese-owned workshops; nine without contracts, three undocumented; 24/7 production cycles; machinery safety devices removed. Court noted Valentino kept operating with violators despite high-profile Dior/Armani precedents.
