Carbon
Since working with Positive Luxury, Valextra conducted its first carbon assessment of Scope 1 and 2 emissions which identified its company dependencies and impact on biodiversity and signed up to Science Based Targets Initiatives (SBTI). We ensure that most of our products are shipped to our customers with responsible carriers with certified green programs and carbon emissions compensation tools.
We are planning to measure scope 3 by the end of 2025.
Certification and Assurance
Preserving and innovating timely Italian craft is Valextra’s social and environmental priority to 2030 and beyond. From partners to manufacturers, stores to leadership, our teams are actively committed to ensure our goals and plans are delivered in a joint effort.
Our roadmap has four pillars with clearly defined objectives to accelerate the progress of Valextra towards social and environmental stability, whilst continuing to nurture our Italian community of craftspeople and the knowledge of our brand.
Our belief is that doing well by doing good should not be an ambition, but a reality. Valextra is actively working towards integrating sustainability in every aspect of its business with a no-compromise approach to quality, craftmanship and responsibility.
Valextra has partnered with Positive Luxury to improve our sustainability practices and minimise our environmental impacts whilst improving our social and governance (ESG) criteria. Through our work with Positive Luxury we aim to mitigate and avoid negative environmental impact whilst actively enhancing our social outcomes.
Valextra is committed to a sustainability journey of continuous improvement and providing a reassurance to our customers that when they invest in Valextra’s leather goods they are doing so with the confidence that its production has been scrutinised.
