Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Salvatore Ferragamo SpA discloses a high-level commitment to align its advocacy with climate goals, confirming “Yes” to the question, "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?" This statement shows some recognition that its external engagement should be Paris-consistent. The company also describes sustainability oversight structures such as the "cross-functional working group called Green Team (GT)… dedicated to designing and promoting corporate responsibility initiatives" and notes that “since 2016, the Internal CRC… has been responsible for overseeing sustainability issues," but these bodies are presented in the context of general sustainability management rather than the governance of lobbying or policy advocacy. Its engagement policy, overseen by the Board, specifies that “the body responsible for the approval, implementation and any revision of this engagement policy is the Board of Directors,” yet the policy addresses dialogue with shareholders and other stakeholders, not lobbying activities, and provides no procedures for assessing climate-policy alignment of either direct advocacy or trade-association positions. We found no evidence of a formal review, monitoring, or escalation process for lobbying, no disclosure of criteria for trade-association alignment, and no designated executive accountable specifically for lobbying governance. Accordingly, while the Paris-alignment pledge meets the minimum indicator of intent, the company does not disclose the mechanisms, oversight or reporting needed to demonstrate a structured climate-lobbying governance process.

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Salvatore Ferragamo provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It indicates that it engages on the broad policy theme of circular economy, citing umbrella initiatives such as the European Green Deal and the European Commission’s Circular Economy Action Plan, but it does not identify any particular bill, regulation, or rule it has tried to influence. The main channel it describes is indirect: participation in industry groupings such as the Fashion Pact and, more concretely, the Italian Alliance for Circular Economy, through which it signs manifestos, issues position papers and develops guidance documents. No individual government ministry, parliament or named official is identified as a target of these activities. The company also confines itself to high-level ambitions—“accelerating the transition to a circular economy” and reducing environmental impacts—without spelling out any specific legislative changes, quantitative targets or amendments it seeks. As a result, the disclosures reveal only broad thematic engagement, with minimal detail on the precise policies, lobbying methods or outcomes pursued.	1
