Circularity ?
What is

A circular economy provides the opportunity not only to move towards a positive impact on resources, but also to innovate in order to better serve our customers and to further advance our sustainability goals. 
The circularity inside Kering is based on 3 key pillars along the products value chain to always better serve the customers : 
  •  The regenerative sourcing and clean production 
  •  Luxury that lasts 
  •  More efficient production processes  
"This is more than a strategy, this is a whole new mindset that reinforces what defines us: creativity, exceptional know-how, high quality. 
As a business, Kering sees the circular economy as an opportunity to create an industry fit for purpose for future generations, that works with nature rather than against it. 

Kering will increase the longevity of its products by supporting new business models designed to keep clothes in circulation for the longest possible time; design our products and materials so that they are durable and can be made again; accelerate the transition to regenerative farming practices and expand our repairs services. 

Kering is shifting its production practices to reduce waste, reduce energy and water use, and to eliminate microfibre leakage and single-use plastics."
