PLANET

We are committed to tackling climate change.

  • PLANET
  • We are dedicated to reaching Net Zero status by 2040, aligning GHG reduction targets with IPCC guidelines for limiting temperature rise below 1.5°C. We focus on transitioning to renewable energy, promoting circular economy models, and managing waste to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill by 2030.



    Our Planet pillar is founded on globally-accepted environmental responsibility guidance.

    • Planet FWD
    • Planet FWD

      Planet FWD marks the evolution of Chalhoub Group’s environmental strategy into a distinct and elevated pillar. Designed to accelerate environmental leadership beyond direct operations and across the value chain, Planet FWD reinforces accountability, measurable impact, and collaboration, positioning the Group as a regional leader in sustainable luxury. Planet FWD is anchored around three strategic focus areas: Net Zero FWD, Circularity FWD, and Nature FWD.
    • Supplier Engagement Programme

       

      Recognising that 94% of our emissions in Purchased Goods and Services come from 100 suppliers, we launched the Brand Partner Sustainability Engagement Programme to work closely with our high-emitting and highest-revenue-generating business partners. This initiative is designed to equip our partners with the knowledge and tools to measure, manage, and reduce their emissions, exchange emissions data, and establish Net Zero commitments as a shared responsbility in our brand ecosystem.

    • priority decarbonisation levers; closing the gap to 2032

      Building on this analysis, the Group prioritised a portfolio of decarbonisation levers based on abatement potential and business impact. From approximately 70 levers assessed across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, three were identified as critical to delivering the 2032 trajectory.
    • Net Zero FWD
      Net Zero FWD anchors the Group's decarbonisation journey and provides the governance framework within which priority decarbonisation levers are activated. It establishes a clear pathway to achieving Chalhoub Group’s near-term SBTi targets and Net Zero by 2040 through carbon budgeting, strengthened accountability at business-unit level, and integration of climate considerations into growth and investment decisions.
    • Circularity FWD
      Circularity FWD shifts the Group from fragmented, ad hoc initiatives to a coordinated, Group-wide approach to circular business models. It embeds material recovery, reuse, recycling, and circular design principles across operations and the value chain, enabling circularity to become a consistent and measurable driver of value creation and emissions reduction over time.
    • Nature FWD
      Nature FWD builds on the outcomes of the Group’s biodiversity impact assessment to develop a comprehensive biodiversity strategy and actionable implementation plans. It ensures that sourcing decisions, supply chain activities, and brand operations contribute to nature-positive outcomes and long-term ecosystem resilience.
“Renewable energy integration and implementing energy efficiency measures are driving our low carbon transformation.”

  • STEP assessment

    Launched in 2017, the Stores Towards Earth’s Protection (STEP) Programme was established to embed sustainability into every aspect of our store design and operations. We also focused our efforts on revamping the STEP framework to transition from a pass or fail model to a rating model: Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze. In 2024, we completed STEP assessments for 46 new boutiques across the region, underpinned by an enhanced data platform, diagnostic dashboards and a refined STEP checklist.
