Fewer
CO₂ Emissions

The emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is the main cause of the climate crisis.
The overall increase in average temperatures is at the root of problems such as desertification,
floods, melting glaciers, and the increase in sea levels.

To mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate change, through the Paris Agreement of 2015, the governments of the member states of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have undertaken to pursue the aim of limiting the increase in global temperature to below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

To achieve this result, emissions need to be halved by 2030 - and net zero by 2050.

Make earth
cool again.

For a zero
emissions future.

The time to act is short, and each of us needs to do what we can to contribute to the necessary change.

Our commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions has been recognised by the Science Based Targets Initiative - which supports companies in defining scientific targets - in line with the aim to limit the increase in global temperature to below 1.5° Celsius.

OVS plays its part in avoiding the catastrophic consequences of climate change with a programme to purchase energy from certified renewable sources, improving energy efficiency for all of its facilities and committing to replace the main components of its fashions with organic and/or recycled solutions.

Choosing recycled materials, making the most of existing materials and putting them back into the production cycle, means we can cut back on emissions linked to the production of virgin material.

You too can contribute to reducing emissions. Here’s how: bring your old clothes into one of our stores. We’ll give them a new life. See our other suggestions for reducing your impact on the planet.
