Managing our impact
on the planet

We are working on reducing our emissions in our own area of responsibility and along our entire value chain. To meet our ambitious climate protection goals, we are following an effective and efficient strategy. We follow scientifically based knowledge guiding us in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions along our value chain. We have summarized this in our Climate Transition Plan. 

Environmental protection is incorporated in all stages of the value chain by HUGO BOSS, particularly in the supply chain, where the majority of emissions take place. Clearly defined standards in relation to environmental protection and chemical and waste-water management also apply to our suppliers. When we decide to work with a supplier, we place a strong emphasis on ecological aspects and continue to monitor them during our collaboration.

We are, among other measures, reducing our water consumption with efficient water management. For instance, in our Izmir (Turkey) location, we catch surface water in underground water tanks. The water is then used for irrigation and for the sanitation facilities on the site. It is equally important to reduce waste and recycle. This already begins in the design process: intelligent cutting programmes calculate the optimal distribution of product parts on each piece of fabric to conserve raw materials. We opt for reusable packaging with a high proportion of recyclable materials for shipping goods, and we are also reducing the volume and use of plastic in product packaging, wherever possible. We also strive to act in accordance with the circular economy principles when developing products by making them circular.
