The French fashion group, which includes brands such as Gucci and Saint Laurent, has announced the creation of internal guidelines governing animal welfare. The standards would support the prohibition of intensive farming and ending the sub-therapeutic use of antibiotics. Gucci and Burberry have also recently abandoned the use of fur. In a statement on its website, the group said it was “committed to promoting responsible production practices that respect animals in all aspects of their lives”.
