Benetton's Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Benetton is rated Fair because it has started to improve its products and processes, but still has room to improve.

The brand publicly reports on its emissions impact and has SBTi-approved emissions reduction targets. It has goals to improve its materials mix. However, Benetton is still reliant on high emissions, fossil-fuel based synthetic materials and it frequently releases new products. It doesn't appear to be on track for many of its textile sustainability and emission-reduction goals, and it makes clear progress reporting hard to find.


  • Raw Materials

    Benetton is a member of the Better Cotton Initiative and makes a small proportion of its garments with lowest emissions materials, including recycled wool and recycled cotton. However, it's still reliant on high emissions materials, such as conventional cotton, polyester, nylon, virgin wool, viscose, and elastane. It plans to reduce its reliance on these materials with a goal to have all the cotton in its collections be 'sustainable' by 2025. It has reported on progress towards this goal within the last year, but does not appear to be on track.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Benetton utilizes renewable energy in a portion of its production and direct operations. Benetton sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry. It's working to reduce the span of its operations by closing the distance between factories and distribution, but hasn't reported specifics or progress on this initiative.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Benetton has made some efforts to reduce plastic in its packaging. Its eco-friendly packaging materials include fsc certified material and biodegradable polybags.


  • Repair & Care

    Benetton offers repair advice and tips, but doesn't offer a warranty. It gives detailed care instructions to help extend garment lifespan, though not all instructions are eco-friendly.


  • Take Back Programs

    Benetton doesn't offer a take back program to help keep its products out of landfill. Benetton shares details on how successful this program is at diverting items from landfills.


  • Slow Fashion

    Benetton offers a core collection alongside additional items. It has frequent new releases and restocks.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Benetton has a prominent sustainability page on both its customer and corporate sites, which contain information on materials, packaging, labor practices, supply chain partners, and emissions measurement. It's unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date. Benetton Group releases annual sustainability reports containing information on materials, packaging, energy use, circularity, and labor practices. Its latest annual report is from 2023.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Benetton has measured its emissions, and has verified them with a third party. It identifies its top driver of emissions by including detailed breakdowns. It reports emissions on an organization level, and in its 2023 update its estimated total was 583,650 t CO2e.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Benetton has SBTi-approved emissions reduction targets for the medium-term. It makes updates on these targets difficult to find, but appears to be on track for some of the targets. Commons couldn't find verification that it offsets any emissions.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Benetton publishes full information on Open Supply Hub about its supply chain partners across its upstream production. It has a supplier code of conduct, which includes provisions banning forced labor, allowing collective bargaining, and restricting subcontracting.
