Sustainable
Innovation
The quality of our product is inextricably linked to a conscious and sustainable approach to the use of chemicals in our processes. In line with this vision, Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia confirmed the “Excellence” level in the 4s CHEM protocol in 2024 and achieved Level 2 “Progressive” in the “Supplier to Zero” program promoted by ZDHC. In the R&D field, the Company launched a new collaboration with Spiber, a Japanese leader in bio-based protein fibers, with the aim of exploring alternative and sustainable materials in response to emerging market needs.
People and the Local Area
The strong connection with the local area continues to translate into initiatives that promote dialogue between industry, art, and emerging creativity. The latest edition of CirculArt, created in collaboration with Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, solidified the project as a cultural platform capable of reflecting on circular economy themes through art, involving young talents in direct engagement with the values of industrial sustainability.
This initiative is complemented by a partnership with the local Textile High School, which includes both classroom training and practical activities.
Environmental Commitment
Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia continues to invest in improving its environmental performance by enhancing measurement and control systems across its entire production chain. In 2024, the Borgosesia plant underwent two major upgrades: a complete LED relamping and the installation of its first photovoltaic system, demonstrating its commitment to a tangible energy transition. Concurrently, significant progress was made in reducing water usage, with a 17% decrease in withdrawals compared to 2023.
The company also completed the Organisational Environmental Footprint (OEF) study and calculated its Scope 3 emissions.
Increasingly Sustainable Procurement
Our commitment to traceability and responsibility throughout the value chain has been strengthened by actively involving all strategic suppliers. In addition to sharing compliance requirements through a dedicated platform, in 2024 key partners were also asked to provide quantitative data on their environmental performance, contributing to a more comprehensive and transparent understanding of our overall production impact. Meanwhile, the use of certified regenerative wools, such as Nativa and Engraw Land to Market, continued to support a more responsible approach to raw materials.
