The Minister of Companies and ‘Made in Italy’ consider the introduction of a certification system. Previously, the Loro Piana brand was placed under judicial supervision due to alleged violation of employee rights.
This was explained by Adolfo Urso, Minister of Companies and ‘Made in Italy’, according to the Reuters news agency to industry associations on Tuesday. Some illegal corporate practices in the fashion chain would have damaged the image of ‘Made in Italy’.
In a message from the ministry it says: “In order to combat the illegal behaviors of some less in relation to the working conditions that can endanger the reputation of the entire industry, the government is working on a guideline.
