SAFILO CONTINUES ITS SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY Safilo Group is pleased to announce that its near-term science-based targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). A partnership between the CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), which promotes ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling organisations to set science-based emissions reduction targets. In March 2023, during the presentation of the Group’s Business Plan, Safilo also detailed the goals of its sustainability strategy, including near-term science- based targets. The SBTi evaluated Safilo’s scope 1 and 2 target ambitions as in line with a trajectory of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre- industrial levels.

MUGLER X GENTLE MONSTER: INSPIRED BY 'LES INSECTES' COLLECTION French fashion house Mugler and South Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster have collaborated to create avant- garde eyewear inspired by Thierry Mugler’s iconic Les Insectes spring 1997 haute couture collection. The collection features two frames, Spiral 01 and Spiral 02, and a conceptual lighting head. Spiral 01 boasts a geometric design with tentacle-like spikes, reminiscent of the glasses from the insect- themed collection, now prized by fashion collectors and institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Spiral 02 subtly showcases Mugler’s avant-garde spirit with embossed stripe details from Mugler’s best-selling tights and a chrome logo at the temples.
