In 2024, the 13 companies - employing more than 800 people - of the Pattern Group, a leading designer, engineer and manufacturer of fashion show garments for the most important international luxury fashion brands, achieved an important goal, namely SA8000 certification on the subject of social compliance. And by 2027 they will obtain ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification related to environmental and occupational safety issues for all plants. The group with a turnover of 145.6 million euro in 2023 therefore continues to invest in achieving its ESG model, according to the Strategic Plan 2025-2030.
"An epochal change is taking place in our supply chain, both in terms of consumers and regulations," emphasise the group's CEO, Luca Sburlati, together with the founders and majority shareholders, Franco Martorella and Fulvio Botto, in a note. "As we have done in the past, we have decided to invest to anticipate and be a leader in sustainability and technology in all our plants and for all our customers. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) will not be possible without the integration of systems and technologies along the entire supply chain, we are working exactly for this'.
The ESG Strategic Plan for the next five years will have two objectives on the environmental theme: for decarbonisation, despite the sharp downturn in the luxury market, the Pattern Group confirms structural investments to achieve 100% electricity from renewable sources by 2027 and to bring the Group-wide Intensity Index on indirect emissions to zero.
To this end, there are plans to implement photovoltaic systems on all production sites and to establish electricity supply contracts only with suppliers that guarantee the use of 100% renewable sources. In 2023, the Pattern Group also completed the 2,000 square metre extension of the current Zanni (Reggio Emilia) site, a company in the group's knitwear wholegarment pole in Emilia, and Idee Partners, a company in Scandicci (Florence) and leader in the leather goods pole, which has now reached a total of 4,000 square metres: both new buildings are each equipped with a photovoltaic system.
In September 2025, the group's new headquarters is scheduled to be inaugurated in Turin, to which the parent company Pattern will move: an area of 22 thousand square metres and a headquarters of about 6 thousand square metres, for an investment of about 12 million euros, organised on three levels, completely self-sufficient in terms of energy thanks to a photovoltaic and geothermal system with Leed Gold certification.
