Zalando

Zalando, a German electronic shopping and mail-order house, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.54 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 8.07 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 5.41 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 2.53 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of its Scope 3 emissions in 2025 came from purchased goods and services, accounting for approximately 2.01 billion kg CO2e.

Zalando has set ambitious Science Based Targets (SBTs) in line with the Paris Agreement. The company commits to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2025, against a 2017 base year. Furthermore, Zalando aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from private label products by 40% per €m Gross Profit by 2025, using a 2018 base year. The company also has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. More recent SBTi commitments from 2024 (effective 2025) state a 55% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2033 from a 2022 base year, and a 33% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution within the same timeframe. Long-term, Zalando aims for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040 from 2022, and a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution by 2050 from 2022.
