Carbon Footprint
Luxury brands contribute to the fashion industry's overall carbon footprint, which is a major concern. One analysis found that the luxury fashion industry accounts for a significant portion of the total greenhouse gas emissions.
Traceability and Transparency
A major challenge is the complex, global supply chain. It's difficult to trace the origins of all raw materials—from rare leathers to precious stones—and ensure they are sourced ethically and sustainably.
Wasteful Practices
Historically, some luxury brands have engaged in environmentally damaging practices, such as destroying unsold inventory to maintain brand exclusivity and a sense of scarcity. This practice is now facing intense public and regulatory scrutiny.
Why It’s the Need of the Hour?
The luxury sector, long defined by craftsmanship and exclusivity, now faces unprecedented scrutiny. Practices such as destroying unsold inventory — once a guarded norm — are being publicly condemned. Today’s discerning consumers, particularly the next generation, demand traceability and transparency across the supply chain, from ethical labor to responsible material sourcing. In this new era, the integrity and prestige of your brand rest on its ability to marry timeless quality with undeniable responsibility.
Because in luxury, reputation is everything — and legacy is built on trust. Our 360° Environmental Footprint uncovers hidden ethical and environmental risks across your supply chain, while our Green Strategy Roadmap turns insight into verifiable action, ensuring your sustainability story is as authentic and enduring as your craft.
