Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. has been included for the first time in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026, following its performance in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The company achieved a CSA 2025 score of 69/100, updated as of 5 February 2026, positioning it among the best performers across its industry.
Founded in 1927, the Florence-based luxury group operates globally in footwear, leather goods, apparel, silk products and accessories for men and women, as well as licensed eyewear, watches and fragrances. The Yearbook evaluated more than 8,551 companies worldwide, selecting best-in-class firms based on sector-specific criteria that measure governance, risk management, environmental and social performance, and the quality of sustainability reporting.
The CSA methodology assesses companies’ ability to integrate sustainability into corporate strategy, quantify progress and manage material risks and opportunities. Inclusion in the Yearbook signals above-average performance relative to industry peers, particularly in areas aligned with climate transition, supply chain due diligence and human capital management.
“I express my sincere appreciation for this important recognition, which demonstrates how sustainability is a fundamental value for our company. This achievement encourages us to further strengthen our path, based on vision, practicality, and transparency, so that Ferragamo can positively inspire the way society thinks and acts”, commented Chairman Leonardo Ferragamo.
