FOR A BEAUTIFUL PLANET
We like reaching for the stars, but far-fetched goals are of little help when it comes to climate protection. To keep our feet on the ground and make an active and real contribution to environmental protection, we rely on the findings of science. We have therefore had our climate targets officially reviewed and confirmed by the professionals at the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
of greenhouse gas emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 compared to the reference year 2019. Scope 1 comprises direct emissions from our own sources (e.g. exhaust fumes from company cars). Scope 2 are indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity and natural gas used at the company sites).
Collection of Scope 3 Emissions and initiation of reduction measures. Scope 3 comprises emissions that arise indirectly from the company's activities along the value chain (e.g. production and transportation of goods).
Together with the climate protection organization myclimate Deutschland gGmbH, we once again calculated our corporate carbon footprint in 2023. With many small and large measures, we were able to drastically reduce the CO₂e emissions of our company headquarters and our locations in Germany. However, we still have a lot of work to do, particularly along the value chain.

reduction in direct and energy-related emissions at headquarters.
We have achieved the first goal of our Science-Based Targets! We've already saved 63% of emissions – sounds good, right? It is. But that would only be half the truth, as the majority of our emissions occur in Scope 3.
We want your new favorite piece to arrive clean and undamaged. We don't want you to end up with a mountain of plastic at the same time. That's why we use less plastic, renewable raw materials, and reusable packaging.
The packaging for shipments from our online store is plastic-free and thanks to our optimized, lighter grass-based boxes, we have already been able to save 5.2 t of material.
But that's not enough for us. Which is why we've been using reusable shipping boxes from the start-up hey circle in our intralogistics since fall of 2022.
