Environment

All our actions have an environmental impact on the world we live in and are going to leave to future generations. Fashion is required to turn the tide and work according to regenerative business models for people and the environment.

We design circular products

We aim at making circularity a distinctive feature of all our products, starting from materials. We therefore work to find solutions promoting the use of production and post-consumer waste that may be applied widely to our collections thus contributing to our constant improvement in a significant way.

GOAL

Designing clothing with the lowest environmental impact throughout the value chain.

The Calliope brand has created a collection capsule that we have called “Zero waste” conceived already in the design phase, in the design of the patterns, in order to use all the fabric available to the seamstresses and thus avoid waste of material.

The search for circular business models is not just focused on the clothing we manufacture, but it also includes its packaging. We are increasing more and more packaging, such as shopping bags, labels, coming from certified sources.Our hangers are made of 100% recyclable composites and we manage them in a closed cycle, so as to ensure that we do not produce waste for each new collection.

You cannot achieve goals alone; however, just like collaboration with suppliers is essential, a coordinated effort with the other players in fashion industry is crucial to have a higher positive impact and get increasingly ambitious results. For this reason, we joined the Circular Fashion Partnership project promoted and managed by the Global Fashion Agenda, with the aim of making a transition towards a lasting and scalable circular fashion system. The purpose is the development of the textile recycling industry in Bangladesh by collecting production waste to later reintroduce it into the manufacturing cycle thus giving it a new life.

We protect ecosystems

We aim at reducing to the minimum the environmental pollution for even the smallest choice we make, respecting natural ecosystems and animal welfare.

We prefer purchasing paper coming from forests managed in a sustainable way. We are committed to comply with the 5 cornerstones (Five Freedoms) of animal welfare and we require our animal fibre suppliers to do the same. We verify leather is not sourced from intensive livestock farming, which may have a negative environmental impact on forests.

Even in our brands’ stores we try to reduce environmental impact to the minimum, both in the design and building stages, applying sustainability principles such as furniture modularity and furniture re-use. Furthermore we started a shared path with our suppliers to increase more and more our own sustainability standards and those of our supply chain. Furthermore we started a shared path with our suppliers to increase more and more our own sustainability standards and those of our supply chain.

We have a LED lighting design system and we optimize energy consumption both at our headquarters and inside our stores. Through the distribution network and the new logistic hub in Gatteo we manage to transport goods in an optimized way thus reducing environmental impact in terms of CO2 emissions and land conservation.
We are committed to balance our relative CO2 emissions compared to 2019, against an estimated increase in our business volumes in the next 10 years, and reduce our direct emissions, involving the entire production chain in such an effort. This is a challenge we can beat off by only working together.

Our commitment for climate

It is essential for us to give an active contribution to decarbonization in order to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2025 as set by the European Union. Calculating the amount of GHG emissions is essential to measure Teddy CO2 footprint and design a feasible and monitorable reduction plan.

GOAL

Reducing direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and preventing indirect emissions from increasing against company growth.

To ground our climate plan on a sound scientific basis, we submitted it for assessment by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), thus resulting in the commitment to monitor our progress on an annual basis. The plan was approved thanks to the goals we set for ourselves but also to the goals set by the other players joining the initiative. Joining SBTi is essential to be able to act consistently with the efforts made by other companies from different industries worldwide to set a feasible and truly effective plan. All the stakeholders in the fashion industry need to cooperate, involving suppliers who cannot be the only ones entirely accountable, because a joint and shared plan for CO2 reduction must be drafted.

An example of our renewed commitment towards the environment is our distribution hub in Gatteo, which was awarded the LEED Gold certification in 2022. The hub was built to be sustainable and make our business sustainable; attention to its environmental impact and to people was already part of the design stage. The distribution hub was designed to use renewable energy, reduce energy and water consumption and manage waste and mobility in an innovative way. Teddy made the investment with the focus on safeguarding workers and the territory, identifying critical issues in order to prevent them and integrating the hub into the community to make it an immediate positive resource. We are proud of our new logistic hub that marks a dramatic and historic change, which pushes us to set increasingly more ambitious goals to look at the future with enthusiasm.
