comment on your net zero targets

*

Strong and fast reduction of co2 emissions reached inside own production processes using renewable electric energy as well own transportation with full EVs only. The replacement of natural gas for heating of buildings takes longer and may be significant lower with heat pumps, when own production of renewable energy is established. Reduction at supply chain level take longer and are more difficult to reach.

Scope 1 measures: - use of zero emissions EVs only (charged with regenerative energy since mid 2023) - no use of chemicals, steam or refrigerants inside production Scope 2 measures: - purchase of 100% renewable electric energy (since 2017) - purchase of natural gas for heating (carbon emission compensated by the supplier) - no purchase of steam or cooling - plans and measures to reduce energy (electricity and heating; replacements) - reduction of fresh water use (level lower than households) - planning own production of electric energy (PV panels 2024-2025) as well reduction share og natural gas for heating by use of heat pumps (2025-2026) and storing own regenerative energy (2025-2026) Scope 3 measures: - supply chain related shift to certified sustainable materials used for production since 2016 - planning and introduction of zero-waste-policy 2021 - broaden share of organic materials used for production (i.e. certified organic cotton) that derive from low carbon emissions processes in 2023 - use of carbon neutral transportation only (external provider for transportation of materials and goods) - continous reduction the use of (oil based) synthetics for production process

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *

Scope 1 Actions

own facilities

Yes

- annual update of energy reduction plan (controlling and measures) with focus on reduction of electric energy and natural gas (co2 compensated by supplier) for heating of rooms - continuous replacement of equipment by using low energy devices - plan for own production of electric energy with PV panels and use of heat pumps for heating of rooms (and energy storage of in house generated renewable energy)

own vehicles

Yes

100% use of full electric vehicles only (90% charged with 100% renewable electric energy) since mid 2023

own processes

Yes

- No (more) use of chemicals, water, cooling or steam for own processing

scope 2 actions

purchased electricity

Yes

already 100% renewable energy, further reductions of energy planned; own production of renewable energy planned

purchased steam

N/A

no steam used

purchased heating

N/A

not used

purchased cooling

N/A

no cooling used

scope 3 actions

supply chain related (upstream)

purchased good and services

*

Yes

- switching textile materials used for production continuously from (oil based) synthetics to organic fibers like certified organic cotton and peace silk as well as synthetic generated natural fibers like Modal or NAIA - digital goods are mainly sourced from providers with focus on low or zero co2e, i.e. Google/ Alphabet or regional data hosting

capital goods

*

Yes

- not yet fully planned and implemented, bit providers preferred declaring that services have low or zero co2e - total share of expenditures for capital goods is low

fuel and energy related activities

*

Yes

- see above: own transportation is already 100% EV based; all electric energy derives from renewable sources; lower share of heating with natural gas planned by using heat pumps (2025-2026); no other fossil fuels used; 65% of company stuff is already using public transportation

transportation and distribution (upstream)

*

Yes

- transportation of sourced base material (fibers, yarns, wovens) shall be shifted to low or zero co2e providers (mainly reached at the moment by compensation measures regarding co2e); actually realized for about of 25% of shipping - sourcing of larger quantity per order reduces quantity of shipment - local transportation realized to about 95% using own EVs (charged with renewable energy) - own code of conduct: all textiles materials sourced shall be sourced as bear as possible, first regional (i.e. 100% textile finishing and 80% of wovens used come from weavers with less than 50 km distance), followed by national providers (i.e. yarn), followed by suppliers in EU (i.e. tulle, jersey and wovens made of certified organic cotton come from Italy, Spain, France or ECC member Switzerland) and if not applicable also from trusted sources worldwide (i.e. certified peace silk)

waste in operation

*

Yes

- zero waste policy established in 2019 aiming on strong reduction of textile waste - total waste of company (textile waste, cuttings, office and employee waste) reduced to household size (3 persons) since 2021 (only 1x 250l garbage can for the whole company with service clearing 2 times per month); use of own compost pile - reuse of packing materials as far as suitable - strong reduction of plastics or oil based synthetics for packaging (mainly cardboard boxes and paper)

business travel

*

Yes

- strong reduction since 2018; no flights; nearly all contacts are online (phone or email) - no business trips abroad in 2023; 10 trips inside Germany with distance smaller than 250 km (one direction), using own EV - physical presentation of products: sent by parcel and contact online

employee commuting

*

Yes

- 65% of staff using local public transportation (distance less than 3 km, use of tram) - 35% of employees using own car (living outside, distance 5-15 km, less public transportation available)

upstream leased assets

*

N/A

not used

customer related (downstream)

transportation and distribution (downstream)

*

Yes

- distribution of sold textiles: all B2C parcels are already shipped with DHL GoGreen service (declared as zero co2e; may be compensated), more than 50% of B2B shipping is done by using also DHL GoGreen, further are realized using UPS and GLS (declared low co2e; not testified) - a few shipping go outside Europe by airfreight services (mainly UPS)

processing of sold products

*

Yes

- textiles sold B2C (curtains, table topper, decorations, fashion accessories) do not need further processing (at end user) - textiles sold B2B used for garments need further processing: these shall be of high quality and long time usage; such textiles come mainly already with textile finish and colors, so further finishing relates mainly to cutting and sewing; additional plans to reduce co2e during processing at third parties are not yet established

use of sold products

*

Yes

- all sold textiles do not need energy or do produce co2e, except washing - washing of sold textiles (i.e. curtains, table toppers, decorations, accessories) may be relevant 1-3 times per year; washing is mainly done using electric energy (which stems inside main market Germany by 50% or more from renewable energy sources) - total level of related co2e caused by washing hard to measure and estimated as low

end-of-life treatment of products

*

Yes

- all products are designed and constructed for long term use to reduce amount of waste over time (i.e. guipure lace curtains are UV resistant and do reach usage of up to 30-40 years, made of both, synthetics or organic cotton) - textiles made of synthetic fibers must be seen as waste (about 3 tons output per year equal to 1,5 tos co2e per year) - textiles made of organic cotton i.e. may become waste too, but are likely to be co2 neutral emissions in respect of the fiber circle - new R&D project of company is doing researches how certified organic cotton textiles can be sorted to compost heap (requested by Australian client)
