- This is an unclaimed profile. Salvatore Ferragamo has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Salvatore Ferragamo says sustainability is built into its business strategy. The brand has a long list of actions on climate, materials, supply chain, people, and community work. It reports science-based climate targets, renewable electricity at its directly run sites, and a push to use more certified raw materials. It also points to labour and inclusion policies, such as SA8000 social responsibility certification and gender equality certification in Italy. On the public side, independent ratings are mixed to weak: Good On You rates the brand “Not Good Enough,” while Trustpilot reviews are very poor. Overall, the picture is of a luxury brand with many formal ESG systems and targets, but uneven third-party confidence in how strong or complete those efforts are. Positive Sentiment Found Publicly available third-party signals are limited, but some independent sources point to structured ESG work. Good On You says Ferragamo has a science-based target, uses some lower-impact materials, recycles textile offcuts, and claims to use Leather Working Group-certified tanneries, even though it still rates the brand “Not Good Enough” overall. WWD reported that Ferragamo received an SI Rating Silver certificate, described as a sustainability assessment that combines ESG criteria and the UN SDGs, and noted strong marks in areas such as consumer protection, working conditions, and supply-chain management. The brand also appears in CDP-related coverage and sustainability rankings in its own disclosures, which suggests it has been visible in external ESG review processes. Common Criticisms: The strongest public sentiment is negative. Trustpilot shows a 1.4 out of 5 rating based on 100 reviews, which signals widespread customer dissatisfaction, although those reviews are not all about sustainability. Good On You rates Ferragamo “Not Good Enough” overall and gives it weak People and Animals scores, saying the brand does not publish an aggregate supplier breakdown, does not show evidence of living wages in its supply chain, and has an animal policy that is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare. The same review also says the brand uses many animal-derived materials and gives only partial detail on certification claims. Together, these sources suggest that outside observers see real ESG systems in place, but also major gaps in transparency and social and animal-welfare performance.

Salvatore Ferragamo Sustainability Commitments
2050
Reach net zero by 2050
Ferragamo plans to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It says this target covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which means direct emissions, energy-related emissions, and emissions from its wider supply chain. The target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
2029
Cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Ferragamo plans to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2029 compared with its 2023 baseline. Scope 1 and 2 cover emissions from its own operations and purchased energy. The company says this target is science-based.
2029
Cut Scope 3 emissions
Ferragamo plans to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2029 compared with its 2023 baseline. Scope 3 is the wider footprint from purchased goods, transport, and distribution. This matters because most fashion emissions often sit outside the company’s own buildings.
