The prestigious Europe’s Climate Leaders 2025 ranking, published by the Financial Times in collaboration with Statista, included Ratti for the first time this year. The list highlights 600 European companies that have achieved significant reductions in their carbon emissions, particularly Scope 1 and 2. The ranking also considers transparency in ESG practices, energy transition efforts, and innovation in sustainable production.

“This recognition is a source of great pride,” the company stated. “It validates our work in reducing our environmental footprint, optimizing production processes, and building a responsible supply chain.”

Ratti was also named one of Italy’s Sustainability Leaders 2025 in a separate ranking published by Il Sole 24 Ore and Statista. This national list honored 240 companies that stood out for their environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The evaluation was based on official sustainability and financial reports, emphasizing measurable performance.

Founded in 1945 and based in Guanzate, Ratti is known for producing high-end fabrics for fashion, accessories, and home textiles. In recent years, the company has integrated sustainability into its core strategy, from reducing resource use to investing in traceable, lower-impact materials. As part of the Marzotto Group, Ratti has also strengthened its focus on circularity through advanced recycling technologies and renewable energy adoption.

Ratti's dual recognition at both the European and national levels positions it as a benchmark for sustainability in the textile industry — and a key player in driving the sector’s transition toward climate neutrality.
