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 2024

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, which will initially focus on the Italian entities within the ZEGNA brand.

This initiative is fully aligned with the Group’s strategy. A number of external experts contribute to the initiative to ensure an up-to-date and comprehensive view of best practices in gender equality and inclusion.

The Committee works in close collaboration with the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team, supporting the achievement of strategic objectives and the evaluation of results, in accordance with the principles outlined in UNI/PdR 125:2022.
