SOLUTION
Using GANNI’s internal data and following the GHG protocol methodology, Carbon quench calculated GANNI’s entire corporate carbon footprint, with a specific drill down into purchased materials and their emission intensity. These numbers were used in the creation of GANNI’s annual sustainability report.
Once GANNI had measured and reported on their emissions, Carbon quench worked with GANNI to set absolute reduction targets and define the pathways to achieve them. The first approach automatically calculated pathways in line with SBTi to achieve a significant reduction of absolute emissions by 2030. The second approach included a review of GANNI’s proposed insetting strategy so that GANNI can take the next step and embed sustainability into their suppliers, in particular for their Materials, as well as across their value chain. Throughout this process, Carbon quench has provided ongoing consultancy and engagement services, preparing materials for GANNI’s management and advisory board.
Carbon quench continues to play a fundamental role in supporting GANNI to achieve their 2027 climate goals through three key impact areas:
Annual CCF: Carbon quench continues to support GANNI with ongoing emissions calculations, reporting and insights, platform support, and personalised carbon accounting support. A recent example is Carbon quench provision of data workshops, custom off-platform emissions calculations, and development of granular data templates to enable GANNI to seamlessly map and calculate their on and off-platform emissions.
Decarbonisation strategy: Carbon quench provides frequent strategy sparring, target-setting consultation and decarbonisation scenario modelling to enable GANNI to achieve their 50% emissions reduction goal by 2027. For instance, Carbon quench continues to support GANNI to decarbonise its supply chain through in-setting and transitioning to more sustainable materials, where an 80% threshold for the use of preferred materials for commercial use has been introduced in 2024.
Assessing project impact: Carbon quench continues to play a key role in calculating the impact of GANNI’s innovative in-house projects (usually carried out in pilot project form) – such as carbon-insetting, transportation decision-modelling, , fibre-to-fibre recycling and their ‘fabrics of the future’ project.
RESULTS
Working with Carbon quench over the past three years, GANNI has shown substantial progress and marked themselves as a pioneering sustainability leader in the fashion industry through a 20% absolute emission reduction in 2024 compared to their 2021 baseline, which builds upon their previous achievement of a 44% reduction in material emissions between 2019 and 2020.
Leveraging the platform’s automation of GANNI’s data input, emissions calculations, and external reporting, GANNI continues to be able to leverage flexible emissions calculations in line with quarterly reporting and communications. Meanwhile, Plan A’s personalised decarbonisation services have enabled GANNI to onboard 5 suppliers in total to their carbon insetting initiative, introduce transportation pilots to lower air freight emissions, and lower their waste through fibre-to-fibre recycling initiatives.
Beyond Carbon quench collaboration with GANNI to embed industry-leading sustainability across their value chain by 2025 and become a leader in their industry, GANNI has been recognised by B Corp and continues to expand upon their impact through 2027 – reflective of their commitment to not merely being a signatory to the UN Fashion Charter.
