Our verdict

Versace has no brand-level emissions data, relying on opaque parent-company reporting that obscures actual performance. Supply chain emissions are rising, deforestation commitments arrived years late, and science-based targets lack credible delivery evidence. The company remains a significant sustainability laggard despite incremental policy adoption.

Versace scores 29/100 (Significant gaps) 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 Versace joint 706th of 934 companies scored, and 39th of 43 in Apparel (Durable / Outdoor).

Limited evidence. This score rests on 7 sources, 14% of them published by the company itself. Every source cited here passed the same quality checks as any other score: all live, none from data aggregators. There is simply less of it.

The ten questions

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

Strongest on Controversies & Red Flags and Energy Source (5/10, 4/10). Weakest on Carbon Footprint: Supply Chain and Emissions Trajectory (2/10, 2/10).
