Joined digital product tracing

OTB says Maison Margiela products have been added to the Aura Blockchain Consortium platform, which gives items a digital certificate of authenticity. Blockchain is a shared digital record that is hard to change, so it can help track where a product came from and prove it is genuine. The group said more than 580,000 products from Maison Margiela, Marni, and Jil Sander were encrypted on the platform in 2023, and that the total covered by digital certification across its luxury brands passed 800,000.

Used more certified materials

OTB reported that its brands, including Maison Margiela, increased the use of certified materials that meet environmental or animal welfare standards. The group said these materials made up about 17% of total purchases in 2023. In 2024, OTB said its use of preferred materials, such as organic, recycled, and regenerative cotton, rose to 24% of total sourcing. This shows a shift toward materials with lower environmental impact, although the exact share for Maison Margiela alone was not given.

Published group ESG reporting

OTB, which owns Maison Margiela, published its 2023 Sustainability Report and said it reports progress across environment, product, and people topics. The report says the group follows three pillars: The New Fashion System, Protecting our Planet, and Brave Together. It also says the group uses annual ESG reporting and other frameworks to structure its disclosures. This matters because it gives readers a clearer picture of the wider company’s sustainability work, even though Maison Margiela itself does not appear to publish a separate public sustainability report in the material provided.

Supported supply-chain partners

OTB says it supports suppliers through its C.A.S.H. programme, which lets suppliers receive payment early through a bank with OTB acting as guarantor. The group says this helps small and medium-sized suppliers manage cash flow and stay stable. It also said it ran the M.A.D.E. docuseries to highlight Italian artisans and craftsmanship, and that it invested in training through the Staff International School of Craftsmanship. These actions are part of the group’s wider effort to support the people and businesses behind its products.

Reduced operational emissions

OTB said it received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, which checks whether climate targets match climate science. In 2023, the group reported a 19.2% drop in direct emissions, known as Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, compared with 2019. It also said 56% of its energy worldwide came from renewable sources in 2023, rising to 70% in 2024. These figures describe the parent group’s progress, not Maison Margiela’s standalone footprint.

Expanded social programmes

OTB’s foundation said it has run more than 350 social development projects since 2006, reaching about 350,000 people. In 2023 it supported job placement for migrants, aid for families in financial difficulty, emergency response work, and scholarships for women students. The group also said women held around 54% of managerial roles and that OTB and Diesel received Gender Equality Certification. These are group-level social actions, but they show the wider company context around Maison Margiela.
