Kering plans hand embroidery workshop in India

French luxury group Kering plans to establish a hand embroidery workshop in India. The aim is to improve traceability and working conditions in its supply chain. The goal is not to cover all of Kering’s hand embroidery works but to get a direct and concrete knowledge of hand embroidery and thus also be able to better collaborate with external suppliers as regards working conditions, wages, prices and contractual commitments.

Kering is the owner of brands like Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Kering has reached 88 per cent of traceability for key raw materials and aims to increase the share to 100 per cent by 2025. The group has also lowered its environmental impact by 14 per cent between 2015 and 2018. Kering has linked up with the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) to launch the first higher education research and teaching center dedicated to sustainability and corporate social responsibility in the fashion industry. The center will focus on a wide range of topics related to sustainability, from traceability to measurement, as well as eco-responsible business models. Aspects of creative ecology will also be studied in order to identify ways in which creative teams can develop ecological fashion and propose new sustainable creative offerings while developing tools for measuring and appropriating environmental and social issues.
