Commitments

Sustainability has been part of our journey since the beginning, when our founder Ermenegildo Zegna transformed his dream into actions with the aim to support both the local community and the surrounding natural environment of Trivero (Biella), where everything started.

In line with the founder's legacy, today we are committed to build a brighter future for the next generation to come. For this reason, we have started a new journey as a Group called "Our Road to Tomorrow" that includes our ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance – strategy consisting of 3 pillars, defined in 27 goals.
Made in Italy,
transparently
We are proudly Italians and we commit to retaining the majority of our value chain in Italy, marking the clothing we produce with a “Made in” label that reflects the highest quality and craftsmanship in the world, we commit to further enhancing the traceability of our raw materials and manufacturing processes.
Weaving the fabric of
tomorrow
Since 1910, we strongly believe in Italian craftsmanship and know-how and we invest in our territory. Our aim is to give back to the communities we operate in, around the world. Echoing the vision of our founder, today we weave the fabric of tomorrow that feels worthy of our dreams.
Oasi, Home of our
values
Oasi Zegna is the home of our values. It is a unique example of a natural territory with a perfect balance of people, nature, and wildlife. It embodies our vision and mission to extend our environmental legacy globally, acting responsibly.

Our commitment brought us to these results in 2025

  • 176 suppliers engaged (76% response rate) to collect environmental data on energy, water, chemicals

In 2024, reaffirming our commitment to promoting a fair, inclusive, and diverse work environment, we established the Gender Equality Steering Committee, composed of members of the ZEGNA brand and the Group’s top management.

The Committee is responsible for defining, approving, and monitoring a three-year strategic plan on gender equality, in alignment with the Group’s DE&I strategy. It also relies on external experts to ensure an up-to-date and comprehensive perspective on best practices in equality and inclusion.

In 2025, the Italian companies of the ZEGNA brand obtained the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality certification, and in 2026 the process of compliance with the standard’s principles was extended to the Italian companies of the Thom Browne and Tom Ford Fashion brands. As a result, the composition of the Steering Committee was revised to ensure appropriate representation of the different companies within the body, including members of the Group’s top management and of the three brands.

The Committee operates in close collaboration with the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team, supporting it in achieving objectives and assessing results, in accordance with the principles of UNI/PdR 125:2022.
