For 4 Years Running
Our approach to sustainability means we hold ourselves accountable for the people we work alongside, the planet we contribute to as well as the products we create. We strive to work with factories that treat people right, and we’re committed to fixing problems in our supply chain when they occur. In addition to our focus on ethical manufacturing, we go the extra mile to ensure our entire operation is certified carbon neutral.
In 2019, we became the first accessories brand to become Climate Neutral Certified. Climate Neutral (CN) is a nonprofit organization that assists brands in measuring their carbon footprint and becoming 100% carbon neutral. As a Climate Neutral certified brand, we measure, reduce, and offset the entire carbon footprint of our operation.
WE'RE PROUD TO SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN
Learn How We Got To ZERO
Climate Neutral has a three-step process for certification. The first step? Creating a solid estimate of our carbon emissions across every aspect of our business. Vincero’s total carbon footprint is 3,422 tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.) This diagram provides a breakdown of our carbon emissions.
After measuring our emissions, we worked with Climate Neutral to purchase carbon offsets from verified and vetted offsetting projects. By purchasing a carbon credit, one tonne of carbon is removed or avoided from entering the atmosphere. When we purchase the same amount of carbon credits to equal our total C02 calculated footprint, we become carbon neutral.
While offsetting our emissions is a good first step, we want to do more. So in addition to offsetting 100% of our emissions, we are working to actively reduce our emissions internally and throughout our supply chain. You can learn more about our reduction plans below.
We are committed to quality. Our watches and accessories are built to last. If they break and we're able to do something about it, we will fix it. Our goal is to keep your Vincero on your wrist and out of the landfill.
Decreasing our use of single-use plastic and materials is crucial to reducing our impact. We are working to use recycled materials where we can in our production process and packaging.
Shipping is the biggest contributor to our carbon footprint. In order to cut down, we’re working to fulfill as many orders as possible locally.
We want to be a business that does good and for the planet. We pledge to continue offsetting the emissions we cannot eliminate.
As we grow, we’re committed to making our products ethically and without causing unnecessary harm to our planet. That means we are always learning and seeking to understand how we can reduce our impact in all areas of our business.
