Throughout 2024, we further strengthened our efforts to address energy management, climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. We set near-term science-based climate targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), encompassing our direct operations and extending throughout our value chain.
Beyond climate change, we have expanded sustainable practices at our company-operated retail stores, reduced packaging, and we have implemented projects to conserve water and reduce waste.
OUR GOALS & 2024 PROGRESS
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY
Since 2023, we have maintained 100% renewable electricity across our owned and operated retail stores, manufacturing and distribution facilities and offices, two years ahead of our target date. We achieved this through a combination of on-site solar generation, participation in green power programs, and purchasing renewable energy certificates.
IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
We are aligned with the Science-Based Target Initiative to reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions—those from our own operations—by 42% by 2030, compared to our 2023 baseline.
To meet our Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction goal, we will continue to implement energy efficiency projects, such as LED retrofits, heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) upgrades, and process improvements, and use 100% renewable electricity.
VALUE CHAIN EMISSIONS
We have set a science-based climate target to reduce value chain emissions from purchased goods and services (Scope 3) by 52% per unit gross profit by 2030, compared to our 2022 baseline.
To achieve our target, we’re focusing on reducing material-related emissions in our global value chain. This means significantly increasing the use of recycled materials in our products, including various types of recycled plastics, aluminum and more.
*Through a combination of on-site solar generation, participating in green power programs and purchasing of RECs.
At Samsonite Group transparency is important to us. Since 2016, we have been reporting on our sustainability efforts and continue to do so today.
