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). The move will cover not just scope 1 and 2 emissions, but all emissions linked to raw material creation and production, as well as product manufacturing.
