So… an average of 158 kgCO2e is what Santa Clause brings with him to do his magic!! 🫣 It’s no surprise since we’re talking about warm clothes made of wool, polyester, and leather boots. PS: Don’t bring us a piece of coal because of this, we’re just doing our part 🥹🙏 we still love you 💚

🌍 Happy Human Rights Day! 🙋♀️🙋♂️ Let’s take a moment to reflect on some powerful facts about human rights that underscore their importance and our collective responsibility to uphold them. 📊 🔹 Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, it consists of 30 articles outlining fundamental human rights and freedoms that should be universally protected. 📜 🔹 Global Reach: Human rights are recognized and enshrined in constitutions and laws in nearly 200 countries, demonstrating a global commitment to protecting dignity and equality. 🌍🤝 🔹 Ongoing Challenges: Despite progress, millions still face violations of their rights, including over 40 million people subjected to modern slavery and human trafficking. 🚫 🔹 Impact of Advocacy: Activism and advocacy play a crucial role in advancing human rights. For instance, the #MeTooMovement has significantly raised awareness about gender-based violence and harassment. 🗣️ At ZeroPact, we are committed to promoting and protecting human rights through putting on the table transparent carbon projects that have a solid foundation of ethics above all. ☝️ Together, we can drive positive change! #HumanRightsDay #UnitedNations #Sustainability

Leather shoes may exude elegance and durability, but have you ever considered the environmental cost behind this timeless material? 🌍 🐮 While leather is renowned for its strength and longevity, its production comes with a significant carbon footprint. The emissions tied to a cow's lifecycle, from methane production to land and water use, make leather resource-intensive. And that’s before we even consider the energy required for tanning and processing. ⚡️ It’s essential to look beyond aesthetics and consider the full environmental impact of what we wear. By understanding the footprint of leather and exploring alternative materials, we can make more informed choices that align with a sustainable future. 🌱 Take a closer look at the comparison below 👇 #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #LCA #CarbonEmissions

Market demands are intensifying and compliance requirements are skyrocketing 🚀 Companies are finding themselves surrounded by competitors with more advanced technology and refined processes, and reducing your Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) will provide your brand with a competitive edge in our fast-changing world. 🔑 PCF clarifies the emissions associated with a product’s entire lifecycle - from raw material extraction to disposal. Understanding your PCF means you can identify carbon hotspots and take actionable steps to reduce your environmental impact. Why does this matter now? 🤔 With regulations like the European Green Deal and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on the horizon, companies that don’t adapt could face significant risks—penalties, reputational damage, and falling behind their peers. 🌱 The times ahead will reward companies that embrace sustainability as a strategic opportunity. It's not just about compliance—it's about future-proofing your business and gaining a competitive edge. 💡 🔍 Curious about how to start?

🌍 Fast Fashion vs. Slow Fashion: A Life-Cycle Perspective 🌿 Black Friday approaches, and it's a great time to reflect on the true cost of what we buy. 🤔 🏭 Fast Fashion: Mass-produced overseas, these pieces travel thousands of kilometers before landing in your cart. They could often be produced under intensive processes, with production inefficiencies, in carbon-intensive countries. While tempting with low prices and quick delivery, the environmental cost is immense—high emissions, excessive waste, and often poor working conditions. 🐌 Slow Fashion: Designed and crafted locally, often using eco-friendly materials (perhaps recycled or even upcycled materials), slow fashion prioritizes quality, fair practices, and minimal environmental impact. For example, a piece made in Portugal represents fewer transport emissions, less intensive manufacturing, more transparency, and a smaller carbon footprint. This Black Friday, let’s make conscious choices. By supporting slow fashion, you’ll not only do what’s better for the planet, but you’ll also promote brands that truly aim for a sustainable future. 🌱 ➡️ Keep in mind that scenarios on the picture were created based on benchmark values and an enhanced module, where we keep the same use habits of the consumer! #SustainableFashion #SlowFashion #FastFashion #BlackFriday #CarbonFootprint #EcoFriendlyChoices #Sustainability
