THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN: A LOW-RISK SUPPLY CHAIN

The Corporate Sustainability Plan identifies two activities that involve the leather supply system:

• implementation of a specific protocol for the selection and evaluation of suppliers according to "ESG / Traceability / Animal Welfare” criteria

• development of a system for monitoring and periodically rating the environmental and social performance of suppliers.

During 2022, after the approval of the "Policy on traceability and animal welfare", the following activities were started:

• analysis of suppliers belonging to the three main input categories (hides, chemicals, third party processing) according to ESG criteria through a documentary and website analysis

• structuring of the supplier performance assessment model from a sustainability point of view.
