Global Fashion Group has achieved carbon neutrality across its operations in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the CIS.

As per an Insider Retail report, the group now uses 100 per cent renewable energy across its nine fulfilmentcentres across the globe, used by subsidiary businesses such as The Iconic and Zalora, while offsetting any carbon generated by purchasing high quality carbon credits from renewable energy projects across China, India and Brazil.

Australia’s The Iconic led the way in getting the business off the grid, shifting its own operations to a renewable energy provider in 2020, while fulfilmentcentres in other parts of the world purchased Renewable Energy Certificates to offset their own operations.

JaanaQuaintance, Chief Sustainability Officer, Global Fashion Group, the group has reached an inflection point as a global community whereby the impetus for the transition to a low carbon economy is undeniable. Formalizing its carbon mitigation strategy is an important step to support the group’s transition to carbon neutrality. While the purchase of offsets and renewable energy certificates will not distract it from true reduction efforts, they mark an important milestone in GFG’s journey.
