„Though the Group mainly relies on a network of several thousand suppliers (mainly located in Italy), it operates a growing number of ateliers. Beginning in 2013, Kering has strengthened its upstream positioning in the luxury goods value chain via the targeted acquisition of leather tanneries to secure raw material sourcing.“ P.6

„The Kering Group manages the Houses’ suppliers in a central database at Kering level (see Figure 4 below). While this database does not yet include all suppliers, it does include all production suppliers, the main suppliers of raw materials (leather, fabrics, ribbons, precious stones, etc.), Kering Eyewear supplier and suppliers deemed to be strategic. Suppliers of the Jewelry Houses are gradually being phased into the system. The system (as of 31 December 2022) covers 4,745 suppliers, with the

following breakdown: 17% direct suppliers (a supplier is deemed to be direct when it has a direct business relationship with the Houses rather than working via a subcontractor); -18% contractors (direct suppliers working for one or more Houses and that subcontract part of their production); and -65% subcontractors (suppliers that work for contractors and have no direct business relationship with the Houses). Direct suppliers with or without subcontracting are T1 suppliers (35% in 2022). Subcontractors are T2 suppliers (65% in 2022). 9.32% of suppliers were deemed strategic in 2022. The size and geographical distribution of the Kering Group supply chain is shown below (Figure 4).

“Gucci works with an international portfolio of suppliers. We have various direct suppliers around the world, although 95% of our manufacturers are based in Italy, meaning that 95% of our suppliers are covered by collective bargaining agreements (we use a small percentage of suppliers outside of Italy for specific phases of component production).”
