challenge

Carbon reduction footwear industry value chain is very challenging

Footwear industry raw materials using high dependence on high emission, value chain and involved in several countries.Therefore, facing challenges in carbon reduction and innovation industry.At the same time, consumers and investors think highly enterprises how to face the environment related problems.

Famous shoes brand Dr. Martens focus on environmental issues, and earnestly implement corporate responsibility.Brand is not only the reference TCFD requirements, evaluate and exposes its climate related risks and opportunities, and at the same time, as a listed company, also will carbon emissions as the focus, to seek solutions.

Relevant financial information disclosure working group of the climate (TCFD)

TCFD (climate related working group on financial information disclosure) are public companies and financial institutions the disclosure framework of climate related risks and opportunities.Using the framework, the enterprise can be long-term planning, and consider the influence of climate change on the business and the value chain.

Reference TCFD disclosure framework in the UK has become the information disclosure of listed companies and large company mandatory requirements, in addition, including the European Union, the United States, Hong Kong, China, etc have been or will be forced to consult TCFD framework of listed companies to carry out the information disclosure.

The solution

TCFD and net zero emissions targets into a broader sustainable development strategy

Enterprise and the close relation between climate change.As Dr. Martens, companies need to take a systemic climate action.But the premise is to the company's action discharge hot spots, which can identify and analyze climate related risks and opportunities.The carbon trust and Dr. Martens cooperation, take the following work:

The value chain

For Dr. Martens calculates the carbon footprint of - found that 99% of the carbon concentration in the aspect of value chain.

Next, with a third party or value chain partners to carbon reduction measures.

Climate risks and impact

Identification of Dr. Martens on climate risk and influence.(such as carbon pricing, production standards, and energy efficiency in buildings, etc.)

Repair and resale model

Has been clear about the carbon reduction initiatives to bring business opportunities, such as repair for footwear, secondary sales, to meet the changing requirements of consumers.

an

According to the TCFD framework, Dr. Martens climate risk reports provide advice.

The business strategy

Set up the path to conform to the goal of zero net carbon emissions, and about how to convert it to a wider range of enterprise strategy to Dr. Martens are proposed.

Net in order to achieve the zero emissions targets, shoe brands need to focus and resources in the most affected part., through the analysis of the importance of Dr. Martens completed preliminary results, determine the following:

  1. Production of raw materials on the land, the influence of the biodiversity and ecosystem
  2. The production process of supply chain's impact on the environment
  3. Circular economy (resource efficiency, durability, shoe repair and footwear abandoned)
  4. Design innovation and sustainable materials
  5. Chemical management and product compliance
  6. Packing material and design
  7. Energy and climate
  8. Waste management (reducing and recycling)

influence

More ambitious climate action
