Emissions

11.57%

However, Mammut has set some of the strongest emissions reduction targets among scorecard brands, and was the only brand to be awarded a ‘B’ in the Greener Shipping category for committing to actively reduce its freight emissions and ship using Zero Emission Vessels by 2030. Mammut is also working to increase textile circularity. Mammut should provide leadership by improving transparency into its supply chain renewable energy transition and coal phase out, and should continue to advocate internationally for renewables to regain its previously strong advocacy grade.

Score Breakdown

Renewable energy:

Mammut Sports Group has set a renewable energy target in its own operations of 100% by 2030, but it is not clear whether the energy will be additional to the grid.

Mammut Sports Group does publicly report its material mix, but it does not report the volume of materials. It does not publish its volume of deadstock or how it manages or disposes of its deadstock to reduce waste.

Mammut does report its shipping emissions annually and includes shipping emissions in its GHG reduction targets, and it does provide a full breakdown of its transportation methods.
