Planet: What We’re Doing and What We Need To Do More

Planet

At Nobody's Child, we are committed to continually monitoring our climate impact. We’re constantly looking for ways to reduce our footprint and make smarter choices in materials, processes and partnerships.

Measuring Our Climate Impact

In 2024, we joined the UK Gov x BFC’s Low Carbon Transition Programme and measured our full greenhouse gas emissions through leading carbon accounting app, Seedling, giving us the clarity we need to drive real change. This data allows us to track our progress, set science-based targets, and reimagine how we create clothes with a smaller footprint.

In FY26, our total carbon footprint was 16,761.68 tCO₂e. Our scope 3 emissions accounted for 99.8% of our climate footprint, and areas with the highest impact were materials, supply chain, and garment use phase. We’ve been working closely with Seedling to measure our climate footprint and identify areas for improvement across emissions reduction and data quality and believe we now have a strong foundation to start shaping our climate impact reduction strategy.

Understanding Our Emissions: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3

We’ve mapped our emissions across three categories:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from our operations (like heating).
Scope 2: Emissions from the electricity we buy.
Scope 3: Emissions from our supply chain, including raw materials, production, transportation, and garment use.

Like most fashion brands, scope 3 makes up the bulk of our impact, so that’s where we’re focusing the most effort.

Identifying our hotspots

FY26 (FY26) hotspots included materials, manufacturing, marketing and air freight. This has led us to develop the following control procedures:

Materials Matrix and product group-specific targets
Reduced Impact Freight policy
Enhanced supplier engagement and sustainability data collection
Monitored efficiency of our digital marketing campaigns

For our upcoming FY27 measurement, we are working closely with our teams, operations and supplier network to gather as much primary data as possible for increased accuracy, specificity and traceability.

Working together for change

Supplier Engagement

To better understand our supply chain, we work closely with our supplier partners to gather data across five key areas: water, waste, energy and emissions, chemicals and biodiversity. Through this process we’ve developed a clearer picture of our impact and have started the process of setting targets for continual improvement.

Our environmental data is tracked through our annual supplier sustainability survey and SMETA 4 pillar audits as well as data collected by our traceability and product environmental impact partners Fairly Made.
