Gucci, the Italian luxury fashion brand, has announced that it is “carbon neutral” after lowering its greenhouse gas output and investing $8.4m in offsetting remaining emissions across its complete business and supply chain last year. The company stated that it was supporting four forest conservation projects across the world via REDD+, the offsetting mechanism established by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In a statement released today, Gucci said: “We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through sustainable sourcing of raw materials for all products we produce – from leather goods to handbags and shoes.
