Climate Commitments and Targets:

Brunello Cucinelli has made significant commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and achieve climate neutrality. These commitments are cascaded from the parent organisation, Brunello Cucinelli Spa.

• Net-Zero Target: The company aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard. This commitment is part of its participation in the Business Ambition for 1.5°C and the UNFCCC Race to Zero Campaign.
• Near-Term Reduction Targets:
  • A 70% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2028, compared to a 2019 baseline.
  • A 22.5% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2028, compared to a 2019 baseline. This reduction target specifically covers both upstream and downstream Scope 3 categories.

The company's reporting indicates an increase in Scope 3 emissions in 2024 compared to previous years where this scope was reported, while Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions appear to be managed within a lower range in recent reporting cycles.
