Gianni Versace Sustainability Actions

Banned sandblasting

Versace has publicly banned sandblasting, a denim finishing method that blasts sand at fabric to create a worn look. The process is dangerous because workers can breathe in silica dust, which can cause a serious lung disease called silicosis. This is a clear worker-safety step and is one of the few labour-related actions noted in third-party assessments.

Uses FSC packaging

Good On You says Versace uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified packaging, meaning the paper or cardboard comes from forests managed under set environmental and social rules. This points to some effort to reduce harm from packaging materials. However, the same assessment says the brand does not publish a full breakdown of the materials it uses overall.

Set a science-based target

Good On You reports that Versace has set a science-based target to cut greenhouse gas emissions in its direct operations and supply chain. A science-based target is a climate goal that follows methods used by climate experts to match the Paris Agreement. The rating also says there is no evidence the brand is on track to meet that target.

Donates unsold clothes

Good On You notes that Versace donates unsold clothes to charity. This can help keep some products in use for longer instead of sending them straight to waste. Even so, the same source says there is no evidence that the brand is reducing textile waste across its wider supply chain.
