We Are Climate Neutral
ALDO Group is the first fashion footwear and accessories company in the world to be certified climate neutral.
How did we actually do it?
In 2013, we calculated our carbon footprint and set ourselves a baseline for improvement. Since then, we have improved the energy efficiency of our offices and corporate stores, resulting in a 46% reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions in only five years by converting store lighting to 100% LED technology, implementing Energy Management Systems (EMS) that control lighting and ventilation and sourcing renewable energy. Simultaneously we implemented organization-wide initiatives to reduce business travel and product transport emissions.
To offset the remainder of our non-avoidable emissions, we purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from wind farms located in regions where our corporate stores are located and invest in high-quality carbon credits that support low-impact, small hydroelectric projects in our top sourcing countries.

We still have work to do, but we strongly believe that a low-carbon future is possible and are committed to doing our part by going climate neutral.Current slide 1We’re not stopping here
