Loro Piana takes action to save water in Peru

Loro Piana, which is highly committed to the breeding of vicuñas of Peru, launched the Acqua project. The aim is to protect water, which is becoming increasingly scarce in some areas as a result of climate change. This trend is causing irreversible damage to the vicuñas habitat and, more generally, to the local fauna, flora and populations.
