Munich, – Peter Hahn and MADELEINE have been climate-neutral since the beginning of the financial year. The companies of the TriStyle Group have defined comprehensive measures to reduce CO2 and compensate for their remaining CO2 emissions through an internationally recognized climate protection project.
In cooperation with ClimatePartner, an expert in corporate climate protection, the TriStyle Group had their CO2 emissions calculated. A wide variety of processes that cause emissions, such as electricity, heating, employee travel and printed products, were recorded for this climate balance. Emissions that remain despite reduction measures have been offset by an internationally recognized climate protection project since the beginning of the financial year. The project is certified with the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and protects 300,000 hectares of rainforest in the Amazon region.
dr Daniel Gutting, CEO of the Tristyle Group: “Peter Hahn and MADELEINE stand for durable and sustainable fashion. The awareness of social responsibility as a company is in our founding DNA. We want to help limit global warming. The recording and compensation of the currently unavoidable residual emissions is part of our contribution. At the same time, we are pushing ahead with our initiatives to consciously avoid and reduce CO2 emissions – for the future of future generations.”
Moritz Lehmkuhl, founder and CEO of ClimatePartner: “The TriStyle Group with the companies Peter Hahn and Madeleine Mode want to further intensify their climate protection activities – we are very happy to support that. In addition to reducing your CO2 emissions, you take a further step with us and offset the currently unavoidable residual emissions through certified climate protection projects. The fact that they not only keep an eye on their company’s emissions, but also those of their print products such as catalogues, confirms the holistic approach.”
In addition to the efforts to avoid and reduce CO2 emissions, the TriStyle Group is also aware of its social responsibility. TriStyle is a member of the amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative, which aims to improve social standards in the global value chain. Every supplier undertakes to act according to these social standards and to respect human rights.
Another focus is on the further expansion of a sustainable range. The TriStyle Group has been a natural fiber expert for many years: Peter Hahn started with llama hair products and is a proven cashmere specialist. The cashmere products offered by Peter Hahn and MADELEINE are certified with THE GOOD CASHMERE STANDARD by AbT, a globally recognized independent seal that stands for animal welfare, environmental protection and nature conservation.
The focus when expanding the sustainable range is on the use of sustainable raw materials. The use of vegetable dyes and going through a certification process for the corresponding labeling of the items with recognized sustainability seals such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or Grüner Knopf are further criteria that the TriStyle Group has defined in its corporate responsibility strategy.
