We started with a carbon footprint. Following the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and CSRD requirements, we mapped scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This provided a foundation for setting Science-Based Targets to reduce its CO2 footprint. But we didn’t stop there. We went beyond carbon to measure the impacts and risks linked to nature. (We used our software Link, see comments for details.) This holistic approach has provided the team at HEMA the insights to make informed decisions about product design and innovation, driving sustainability across their portfolio.

🌍 Black Friday is almost here – a time of incredible deals but also, unfortunately, high environmental impact. 💔 As we consider our purchases, it's essential to recognize that every product we buy has a #CarbonFootprint – from the materials used to the production process and the journey to our door. The convenience and thrill of shopping are undeniable, yet so are the environmental consequences. This season, let's be conscious consumers. Each product carries with it an environmental cost, but thankfully, solutions are emerging. ZeroPact is striving to bring you the best possible shopping experience, with clear, understandable, data-driven carbon footprint values backed by science 🙌, guiding you to support the current most sounding and reliable #CarbonProjects Carbon offset projects worldwide are working hard to counteract emissions, aiming to reduce global warming and create a more sustainable future for all. 💚 Let’s enjoy the season while considering the bigger picture: 🌱 our choices today shape tomorrow's world. #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #CarbonOffset #BlackFriday

World Most Sustainable Companies
CEO @ Decathlon | Board Member | Keynote Speaker | LinkedIn Top Voice
I’m thrilled that Decathlon is included in the very first edition of TIME Magazine’s ‘World Most Sustainable Companies’. Our commitment to acting responsibly for both people and the planet is part of our DNA. I know that this will mean a lot to many of my teammates. It reflects the hard work put into our sustainable and responsible business practices. We know that the issue at hand has major implications not just for us as a business, but for humanity at large. For 2 years now, we have succeeded at decoupling growth from our CO2 emissions, and our commitment is net zero by 2050. This is only the beginning. This recognition does not mean ‘job done’, but will instead act as motivation for the actions we take in the future. Thank you to Time Magazine for establishing a benchmark for transparency and accountability within the corporate world. It is important to encourage companies to consistently integrate sustainability into core strategies and to drive positive change within and across all industries. What a proud moment! #DecathlonSustainable #TimeMagazine #Sustainability #SustainableCompanies2024 I Statista

🚢 While Black Friday may officially launch the holiday shopping season, the gifts on store shelves or in your online cart have already traveled across oceans to get there. Did you know that 90% of goods journey by sea before reaching us? Almost every vessel on the water today is powered by fossil fuels, contributing to 3% of ALL global emissions. Our mission is to lead the shipping sector’s clean energy transition. Together, we can help kickstart that transition for this vital industry and build a more resilient global supply chain, all while reducing the environmental impact of our holiday shopping. Learn more about our mission and join us on the path to zero-emissions: https://ow.ly/GiG650UeYJx #Sustainability #Decarbonization #ZEMBA #BlackFriday
