50% absolute reduction in CO2 emissions by 2027 - SDG 13 (climate action)

Climate action is one of their biggest focuses at GANNI. With their new Gameplan 2.0 they continue mapping and measuring our carbon footprint, choosing lower-carbon alternative materials and intensifying their focus on decarbonisation with the goal of a 50% reduction of absolute emissions by 2027 (from a 2021 baseline). In addition to this, they’re focused on carbon insetting, which sees them directly investing in and collaborating with their supply chain to reduce emissions and improve biodiversity - SDG 13 (Climate action)

Ensuring the use of renewable energy in stores & offices - SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy)

100% of Tier 1 suppliers to be included in Better Wage initiative by 2025 - SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities)

Acheivable goals -

GANNI has been a UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) signatory since 2019 and we are committed to not working with suppliers that use coal-generated heat or energy. During the summer of 2022 we dived into our Tier 2 supply chain to assess if any factories were still using coal and if these facilities were shared with the other UNFCCC signatories.

In 2021, we made a decision to move towards carbon insetting, an initiative that will see us invest directly in decarbonising our own supply chain by partnering with our suppliers to lower their emissions. The initiative also empowers our suppliers by giving them more sustainable means of operation, while creating benefits for the industry as a whole.

In 2022 we partnered with two of our Portuguese suppliers, Ramil and Rodrigues, on a pilot project to install solar panels at both factories. We also worked with local biodiversity experts to implement measures to improve biodiversity on the land surrounding the factory.

As of November 2022, the Ramil project was completed, while Rodrigues will be completed by October 2023 once the building of their new facility is finalised.

Even though living wages are not mandatory by law, ensuring that workers receive living wages is crucial to creating more responsible fashion supply chains, which is why we are committed to this work. We have set a fairly ambitious target to have all Tier 1 suppliers paid a living wage by 2025.

Unclear goals -

Decreasing emissions in inbound, outbound & last mile delivery

Develop a biodiversity strategy - We started this work as part of our carbon insetting projects in Portugal, but the reality is that we do not know the true carbon impact of these projects as it is pretty hard to measure. But even without all of the maths and science, if habitats and soils are restored, it might be a good thing, right? Of course we will not stop there, we need to find a way to measure the impact while also scaling to more geographies across our supply chain. In 2023, we plan to scope out a full biodiversity strategy and ensure that any carbon insetting project that we start has a biodiversity element to it. We look forward to keeping you updated on this.

3. in order to achieve a B-corp certification you must receive a minimum of 80 points, Ganni scored 90.6 and was considered the highest scoring contemporary brand at the time.

governance 17.2/20

workers 21.2/40

community 18.9/40

environment 29.1/135

customers 4/5

while they where considered the highest scoring brand at the time, looking at the breakdown of the points we can see that there is alot of room to improve. Ganni understands that a B-corp certification isn,t a goal but something that can help to achieve a long term goal. they will use their certification to reduce 50% of absolute carbon by 2027. by 2027 they are also hoping to achieve a score of 150. this will be done by focusing on 4 goals:

-climate action and biodiversity

-social impact

-materials and innovation

-circularity

Achievable goals

-They have scored a 90.6 points of the B corp certification making them the highest scoring contemporary fashion brand at the time of certification.

-they are closer to achieving their goal by 50% of absolute carbon reduction.

unclear goals

They mention not focusing too much on legislation, research, data and systemic level change.

They weren't clear about the percentages of how they spent their revenue on responsibility.

They were not transparent about how they will reduce their carbon footprint.

2. contrast these promises with the Ganni good on you profile

what does the brand need to work on

-Its rated as “a start”.

-They have mentioned that GANNI is not taking atequate steps to ensure payment of a living wage for its workers= it's a contradiction with their responsible report because one of their goals is to protect workers and pay equal living wages.

-The website good on you mentions that there is no evidence that they are taking actions to protect biodiversity and their workers which is true.
