LONDON – Fashion resale marketplace Depop has been granted climate neutral certification by environmental solutions provider South Pole.
The company, which set out to reach this milestone in its 2022 Sustainability Plan, started retroactively offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping in January of last year and has since expanded efforts to cover CO2 derived from scopes 1-3.
“Becoming climate neutral is an important step on our journey towards making Depop actively kinder to people and the planet. We believe in setting ambitious goals and focusing our efforts on delivering results and iterating fast – so now that we’ve achieved this milestone, we will shift our focus towards net zero,” noted Justine Porterie, Depop’s head of global sustainability.
