Making clothing always has a footprint – we know that. On this page, we show how we're starting to understand it better: through our first CO₂ calculation for 2024 and a systematic look at the energy use in our production. We're still at the beginning, but for us transparency is the first step.

Our CO₂ Calculation

We want to better understand where emissions arise along our value chain – and learn from it. That's why we calculated our CO₂ emissions for the first time, for 2024. This took into account Scope 3 emissions from areas such as products, transport and business travel. For potential Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, there wasn't yet sufficient data available for the period under review. In total, emissions for 2024 amount to 5,188.75 t CO₂e.

Calculations like these help us better understand our biggest sources of emissions. To get even more concrete, we also look at individual products: for a pair of Beverly pants (black, size M, made in Serbia), the emissions come to around 8.8 kg CO₂e (±1.9 kg), for example.


These insights help us examine in which areas – for instance materials or transport – emissions could be reduced going forward. We're already working on calculating our Corporate Carbon Footprint for 2025 to further improve our data basis.

Beverly Pant, 2025, Size M, Black – Serbia

Material composition: 87% Polyamide, 13% Elastane

(8.76 → ≈ 8.8 kg CO₂e per pant)

Process Step / kg CO₂

  • Raw materials (polyamide & elastane) / 2.86
  • Spinning & weaving / 3.20
  • Dyeing (incl. pre-treatment) / 1.08
  • Fabric preparation & processing / 0.65
  • Sewing & assembly / 0.12
  • Transport (truck) / 0.02
  • Packaging (paper) / <0.01
  • Use (washing & care) / 0.57
  • Disposal (end of life) / 0.25

As part of our CO₂ analysis, we also take a closer look at the energy consumption of our production partners.

Energy Use in Production

The energy use at our suppliers in particular holds a major lever for reducing Scope 3 CO₂. That's why we systematically record how much energy is used for electricity and heating and which sources it comes from. At the same time, we're in dialogue with our partners to improve our data basis and explore options together for saving energy or using lower-emission energy sources.
