Tracking our emissions.
As part of our company-wide sustainability agenda, we make our CO2 emissions visible and measurable: this allows us to track our progress towards the reduction of our emissions in a transparent and comparable way. And consistently improve our environmental performance.
We calculate our emissions using databases and indices:
EQO-Base: it helps us to document our general environmental indicators on, for example, energy, refrigerant consumption or transport.
Eco-database: a tool developed specifically for our company, which shows the environmental performance for each of our well over 3,500 articles in order to be able to reduce them in a targeted manner.
Higg index: an industry-leading reference measure that shows the sustainability of products along the entire value chain.
Data-driven sustainability and digital design.
To drive our legero united sustainability agenda, or luna for short, we are using innovative technologies to digitalise many of our internal processes. This helps us to operate more ecologically and reduce our CO2 footprint. For example, we have programmed our own eco-database, which has already won several awards. It enables our designers to compare all model variants in real time and to control and reduce the carbon footprint of each design with clear targets.
Sustainably waterresistant - without PFAS.
PFAS stands for perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds, which are used almost everywhere to make products water-repellent. Their disadvantage is that they hardly degrade in the environment. We therefore manufacture our shoes PFAS-free and make them waterproof with PFAS-free materials.
