As an ISO 14001-certified facility, Manifattura Berluti operates within a stringent environmental management system. The certification process imposes a range of audit criteria such as gathering reliable data and identifying any risks or opportunities related to global warming that could impact operations.
This mechanism enables Berluti to anticipate regulatory and market developments, and optimise the management of its activities, products and services in an ecologically responsible manner. Manifattura Berluti is audited anew every three years to maintain its certification, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship and more efficient use of natural resources.
Greening Our Premises
We strive to minimise the ecological footprint of Berluti stores and workshops by regulating energy use, optimising waste management and using environmentally responsible materials and equipment wherever possible. 2024 figures show 82% of stores are fitted with LED lighting, which brought down electricity consumption by 60% on average while delivering greater visual comfort. Additionally, 40% of stores already have a Smart Impulse box, an energy usage monitoring device that can help cut consumption by 15% through accurate analysis.
Powered by Clean Energy
We use renewable energy certified by Guarantees of Origin to run our Head Office and the Bespoke and Services workshops in France, as well as Manifattura Berluti in Italy. In Ferrara we’ve also installed solar panels, while the energy transition at our stores is well underway, with 66% of electricity now derived from renewable sources.
Alternatives to plastic
We must stop using virgin plastic derived from fossil fuels. Producing this petroleum-based material generates high levels of CO₂ emissions, contributing to global warming. It also causes significant air and soil pollution, which has a serious adverse impact on biodiversity and human health.
That’s why LVMH’s LIFE 360 roadmap pledges to eliminate all virgin plastic of fossil origin from its customer packaging by 2030. Berluti has already achieved this goal and is gradually phasing out this type of plastic across all its operations.
The Maison is gradually adopting alternative materials – from recycled plastic to bioplastics and recycled paper – to replace all first-use plastic from fossil sources, in order to reduce its environmental footprint.
Zero virgin plastic by 2030
“Virgin” plastic means one that's derived directly from processing petroleum. This type is gradually being phased out and replaced by a range of other materials, including recycled and plant-based plastics.
The boxes and bags Berluti customers are given in-store don’t contain any plastic, but are made of paper from responsibly managed forests, with cotton used for the felt linings and cords. Virgin plastic of fossil origin is gradually being phased out completely. Already, half the packing materials used for logistics are made of recycled cardboard and cotton felting. The bubblewrap we use when shipping our shoes and leather accessories is made from plant-derived bioplastic, and since 2022, so are the protective covers we transport our garments in.
