climate action

At Save The Duck, we are working to measure and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and value chain. 
Our journey began in 2018 by mapping our greenhouse gas emissions and implementing a reduction and monitoring plan.
In 2021, we expanded our climate action by investing in four projects focused on renewable energy production and supporting communities in developing countries.

At the start of 2022, we strengthened our emission reduction strategy by submitting our targets to the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi). This international project encourages climate action in the private sector, enabling companies to set science-based reduction goals.

In March 2022, SBTi approved our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission reduction targets of -50% by 2030, compared to 2018. We also committed to monitoring and reducing our Scope 3 emissions related to our tracked supply chain.

Every year, we collect the data needed to quantify our emissions, assessing the total CO2 equivalent generated by our activities across the entire value chain.

Since 2022, our GHG inventory has been certified according to the ISO 14064-1 standard. This ensures that a third-party, independent organization verifies the accuracy and transparency of our approach. Discover more >

Borehole project “Antonio Giaffreda”, Senegal
Owner > Carbonsink - EPS, Energia per lo Sviluppo

Solar-powered drinking water systems for rural villages

As in many rural areas of western Senegal, the community of Mérina Dakhar has limited access to drinking water. A number of local water sources, including boreholes and wells, are affected by microbiological contamination, while only a small proportion of the rural population in the project area has easy and direct access to safe drinking water.The project aims to improve access to safe drinking water for domestic use and agricultural irrigation through solar-powered water systems, while addressing hygiene and socio-economic issues related to water access and management. Discover more >

Reforestation of degraded forest reserve areas in Ghana

Located in Ghana’s Ashanti region, the project aims to establish 12,000 hectares of forest plantations on degraded land.The plantations are managed according to FSC certification requirements. According to the project documentation, the activities are intended to increase forest cover, produce timber from FSC-certified plantations, support food production and create employment opportunities for local communities. Discover more >

Since 2022, we've been powering our offices and flagship stores with electricity backed by renewable origin certificates.

In the same year, we saw progress among key players in our supply chain, with some starting to generate their own electricity from renewable sources.

Inspired by this regenerative approach, we began purchasing electricity with certificates of origin for the energy consumed by our direct suppliers in activities carried out on our behalf, such as manufacturing garments and fabrics.
