In 2023, Movado Group, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 73,675,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions totalled 330,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 2,654,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 70,675,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions include significant contributions from capital goods (1,862,000 kg CO2e), business travel (1,035,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (2,436,000 kg CO2e). Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Movado has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets currently in place. The absence of such commitments suggests that Movado may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, Movado's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, which is common in the watch and luxury goods industry. The company may benefit from setting clear reduction goals to align with global climate action efforts.
