SUMMARY
Kering SA (Kering) ranks 17th in the benchmark, with a below-average score of 27 out of 100. While Kering’s sports brand, Puma, discloses a number of leading practices (for example, it is the only company that discloses the names and locations of its core first-, second-, and third-tier suppliers), those practices mostly do not extend to Kering’s luxury brands, which include Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Gucci, and Stella McCartney. That said, the company has a number of group-wide policies in place, such as a supplier code of conduct and a traceability process. Kering can improve its performance across all themes, for example in areas such as commitment and governance, traceability and risk assessment, and purchasing practices.
