Impronta Zero is the project through which Vivolo explores innovative, recycled, recyclable, and bio-based materials. This continuous research expands our design capabilities and contributes to developing sustainable fashion accessories in line with the latest demands of the international fashion market.

This commitment to sustainability is backed by internationally recognized standards and certifications, including ISO 14001, GRS, FSC®, and the OEKO-TEX® Leather Standard.
Alongside next-generation materials, Vivolo continues to value genuine leather: a circular material derived from upcycling byproducts of the food industry, deeply rooted in the Italian manufacturing tradition and the essence of “Made in Italy”.

At Vivolo, sustainability also means sharing expertise, creating opportunities, and fostering dialogue between education and industry. For this reason, we actively collaborate with schools, universities, and local institutions, supporting initiatives dedicated to the next generation of Made in Italy fashion professionals.

Among these, the Luciano Vivolo Award is one of our most meaningful projects. Established in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, and now open nationally to all Italian Academies of Fine Arts, the award gives students the opportunity to tackle real-world design challenges, receive financial recognition, and access internship programs within the company.

This commitment, reflecting our belief that innovation and sustainability thrive on skill-sharing and intergenerational dialogue, is complemented by scholarships for outstanding students and initiatives such as Future for Fashion and partnerships with the Aldini Valeriani Technical Industrial Institute, bridging the gap between education and the professional world.

Vivolo’s commitment to sustainability is also reflected in its deep connection with the local area. This vision gave rise to Tenuta Luciano Vivolo, an agricultural project spanning more than 70 hectares of privately owned land in the hills of Bologna. Here, a vineyard cultivated according to the principles of organic farming produces wines that tell a story of dedication and quality, embodying the same values of care and responsibility that guide the company’s work every day.
