Benetton Group is one of the best-known fashion companies in the world, present in the most important markets in the world with a network of about 4000 stores; a responsible group that plans for the future and lives in the present, with a watchful eye to the environment, to human dignity, and to a society in transformation. The history of Benetton is built on innovation – seen in its bright colors, the revolution of the retail outlet, unique sales networks, and universal communications that have always been social talking points and aroused cultural debate – and now the firm has taken up the challenge of globalisation, with constant investments and a competent, flexible organisation that takes change in its stride. The Group has a consolidated identity comprised of colour, authentic fashion, quality at democratic prices and passion for its work: these values are reflected in the strong, dynamic personality of the brands United Colors of Benetton and Sisley. The development of the United Colors of Benetton sales network, which occupies prime positions in historic town centres and shopping centres, is supported by a significant programme of investments around the world. The stores exploit highly modular settings to create spaces in which the collections, their colours and design are always at the centre of attention, and are presented in a retail context that is increasingly attractive, dynamic and interactive.
