Our CO₂ Calculation

We want to better understand where emissions occur along our value chain – and learn from it. That's why we calculated our CO₂ emissions for the first time for the year 2024.

This included Scope 3 emissions from areas such as products, transportation, and business travel. For potential Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, sufficient data was not yet available for the period reviewed. In total, our 2024 emissions amount to 5,188.75 t CO₂e.

These calculations help us better understand our largest emission sources. Additionally, we look at exemplary product calculations: For a Beverly Pant (black, size M, manufactured in Serbia), this results in approximately 8.8 kg CO₂e (±1.9 kg) per product.

These insights help us assess where emissions could potentially be reduced – for example in materials or transportation. We're already working on calculating our Corporate Carbon Footprint for 2025 to further improve our data foundation.

Energy Use in Production

A key lever lies in production – especially in the energy use at our suppliers. That's why we systematically track how much energy for electricity and heat is sourced from which sources. At the same time, we're in regular exchange with our partners to improve our data foundation and jointly explore opportunities for energy savings or the use of lower-emission energy sources.

Materials & Certifications

Our material choices also play a role.

Based on our material analysis, we're gradually assessing where the use of recycled materials can be meaningfully increased and where alternative fibers could be an option. In doing so, we make sure that the function, quality, and wearing comfort of our products are maintained.

At the same time, we're working on increasing the share of certified organic cotton and replacing conventional cotton wherever possible.

When selecting our materials, we follow recognized standards. Since December 2025, we are certified according to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). The standard verifies the share of recycled materials and enables their traceability along the supply chain. It also includes requirements for environmental management, chemical use, and social criteria in processing facilities. First styles like the Brandy Seamless Top and the Brandy Seamless Pant already carry GRS certification.

*Viscose and modal are regenerated cellulose fibers made from plant-based raw materials such as wood.

Environmental & Chemical Management

In addition to the individual measures mentioned above, we also work with internal guidelines – such as our Environmental & Chemical Management Policy, which describes how we handle topics like chemical use, environmental requirements, and production processes.

We don't see ourselves as a sustainable company – because like any producing company, we consume resources and generate emissions.
What we do, however: We consciously engage with our impact and continue to develop where we have direct influence.
That starts with our own working environment.
We regularly assess where we can save resources or improve structures in our offices. Not perfect – but conscious and continuous.

Some examples from our offices:

🌱 Environment
- 100% electricity from renewable energy sources
- Office supplies that we choose consciously
💛 Community
- Mental health support in collaboration with Nilo Health
- Flexible work models like remote work and three offices where four-legged friends are welcome too
- A work environment that considers different needs – including accessible spaces
But for us, responsibility doesn't end at the office.
Throughout our supply chain, we also address social and environmental impacts in a structured way. We're gradually evolving our material strategy and continuously assess where the use of recycled materials is technically feasible and meaningful.
Additionally, we collaborate with the Fair Wear Foundation and systematically analyze our supply chain and the working conditions at our production partners.
Perfection doesn't exist in global supply chains – but we can develop our processes step by step.
We take responsibility for the people in our supply chain. We're aware that fair working conditions aren't a state you reach once – they're a continuous process.
That's why we're working to create transparency, systematically identify risks along our supply chain, and develop appropriate measures for improvement. We continuously evolve our internal sourcing processes. We're in regular exchange with our production partners and actively address working conditions. We also collaborate with the Fair Wear Foundation, through which we aim to identify risks in the supply chain early on and implement concrete measures to reduce them step by step.
In addition, we rely on external audits – such as through amfori BSCI or comparable standards – to better assess risks and drive targeted improvements.
For 2024, we calculated our CO₂ emissions. This covered Scope 3 emissions from areas such as products, transportation, and business travel, as no reliable data was available for potential Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions during the period reviewed. The results help us better understand where we can take action – for example with materials and in our production.
For us, sustainability isn't a destination – it's a continuous process of development.
Currently, our focus is on creating more transparency in our supply chain and further building out our internal processes. We're looking more closely – at working conditions, materials, and environmental impact – with the goal of analyzing these topics thoroughly and deriving concrete next steps from them.
We know this process takes time. That's why it's all the more important for us to stay open, keep learning, and take responsibility along the supply chain in a structured way.
