Calculating our Emissions

2019-2020 Emissions

We partnered with Trees for Cities. A UK-based offsetting organisation. In this year, and through this scheme, 472 trees were planted to to offset
our carbon emissions.

2020-21 Emissions

Purchasing 300 tonnes worth of carbon credits, we supported the Fortaleza Ituxi REDD Project in Brazil which focuses on protecting a section of the Amazon from deforestation by working with local communities.

2021-22 Emissions and beyond

We have been working with Planet Mark to calculate our Scope 1, 2 and part of Scope 3 emissions.

Acquiring full transparency and setting binding targets to reduce our impact on the environment is vital in the Race to Net Zero.

Impact of Our Operations




Transport

In Europe, we use logistic partners that plan their routes efficiently.

In the UK, deliveries are grouped together, and delivery vehicles are packed efficiently.

Our target for 97% fuel efficiency has always been met.


All our waste gets diverted from landfill.

We collect recyclable materials in separate bins.

We donate fabric cut offs to local schools and community groups.

Hazardous waste is managed by specialists.


Our Danish and European HQs are powered by solar panels on the roof (30% of annual energy consumption).

For the remaining electricity, renewable energy is partially used.


We adopt a made-to-order approach and maintain limited stock to prevent overconsumption and resource waste.

Annual ISO 14001 audit certifies our environmental management system to continuously reduce our manufacturing impacts.

Using a CNC machine has lowered our fabric waste by 15%
compared to manually tracing & cutting fabrics.


Our Suppliers

We visit our key suppliers at least once a year. We are in the process of developing a formalised audit process, going beyond mere conformity and certification, but focusing on our suppliers’ commitment to sustainability. Through this annual audit, we willmonitor the principles upheld by our suppliers and
evaluate their values and relationships with their own
suppliers.
