Benetton Group is one of the world’s best-known fashion companies thanks to a unique identity built on knitwear, quality, color and respect for diversity.
Founded in 1965 in Ponzano Veneto, in the province of Treviso, the Group operates in the main international markets with its two brands: United Colors of Benetton and Sisley.
Social commitment has always accompanied Benetton Group’s global expansion. Over the decades Benetton Group has become the bearer of a universal message of humanity and tolerance and has implemented controls over its supply chain based on respect for ethical, environmental and labour law principles in addition to criteria of quality, competitiveness and transparency.
Today, Benetton Group is committed to being a globally responsible company from a social, environmental and economic perspective, growing together with the communities in which it operates.
Benetton Group allocates 1% of its annual turnover to the sustainability activities, taking concrete actions to achieve its social and environmental goals.

Benetton Group is committed to adopting a responsible production and consumption business model, decoupling the company's economic performance from the increase in the volume of garments produced (baseline 2019); this strategy is based on the recovery of margins per product, on the improvement of the sell-through in the direct and indirect channel and on the experimentation of new business models which favour the garment durability - physical and emotional - and the re-entry into the production cycle of recovery materials. The Group makes the voluntary and deliberate choice to define the development of the company in accordance, not in contrast, with the community and the natural environment in which it operates.

Our values

This dedication is part of the Italian textile industry’s tradition and – thanks to the passion and dedication of all the Group’s employees – drives all of the Company’s activities.

Freedom of expression

Benetton Group is outspoken. We are convinced that our society can only evolve if people are provided with the right tools and allowed to express their opinions freely. This will result in more ideas, greater dialogue and more tolerance, also vis-Ă -vis those who see things differently.
