Ecological Footprint
Responsibility that goes further
At MYMARINI, environmental responsibility is part of our DNA. We want you to know the impact your clothing has on the planet — and what we do to reduce it. That’s why we measure our ecological footprint, share the results transparently, and constantly work towards improvement, step by step.
CO₂ balance & climate strategy
Since 2024, we have been working with Carbonfact, a climate accounting platform specializing in the fashion industry. Together, we measure the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of our collections and our company-wide emissions.
Our first greenhouse gas balance for 2024 shows 191.59 t CO₂e, with around 95% originating from our supply chain. These insights help us focus our actions where they have the greatest impact.
Our goal: To become fully climate positive by 2030
To achieve this, we’re committed to three core principles:
• Consistently reducing emissions through better materials, processes, and logistics.
• Applying an internal carbon price (€35/t since 2024) to secure a dedicated budget for climate action.
• Supporting reputable climate projects to offset unavoidable emissions.
A life cycle assessment, also known as a life cycle assessment (LCA), is a standardized method for calculating the impact of a product, process, or service on the environment. LCA is a scientific approach to assessing the environmental impact of products, processes, or services. LCA collects extensive data on environmental impacts, such as emissions from energy production, solid and liquid wastes, and the production of raw materials. Environmental indicators use measurable variables to describe complex environmental problems. These indicators include greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and land use.
By preparing these life cycle assessments, we obtain more accurate and comprehensive information about the environmental impact of our products along our supply chain. In the medium term, this may lead to insights into where there is potential for optimization. On this basis, targeted measures can be taken to achieve our ambition of groundwater and climate neutrality. MYMARINI aims to be 100% groundwater neutral by 2025 and 100% climate neutral by 2030. To achieve these ambitions, a reliable data basis is essential. Life Cycle Assessments provide a solid basis to measure progress toward these goals and adjust where necessary.
All product life cycle stages are considered when preparing a life cycle assessment. This includes the sourcing of raw materials, production, transportation, use, and disposal of the product. Each of these stages can have different environmental impacts, and therefore it is important to look at the entire supply chain.
Starting in 2025: Our first climate projects
In the second quarter of 2025, we will support our first climate projects to offset 130 t CO₂e — around 68% of our 2024 baseline emissions.
Our first three projects:
1. UGANDA Gender Responsive Safe Water Project
This project restores boreholes in Uganda’s Lango region, providing more than 40,000 people with access to safe drinking water. At the same time, it saves around 50,000 tons of CO₂ per year and empowers women through participation and reduced time spent collecting water. Learn more here.
2. MoorFutures — Grotmoor, Schleswig-Holstein
By rewetting the Grotmoor peatland in Northern Germany, this project restores valuable wetland ecosystems and preserves them as long-term carbon sinks. It protects local biodiversity, captures greenhouse gases, and reinforces the natural water cycle. Learn more here.
3. Green Investment Program by First Climate — Biochar in Germany/Austria
This project supports the production and use of biochar to store CO₂ permanently in the soil. By converting biomass into stable biochar, around 10,000 t of CO₂ are sequestered each year — improving soil fertility, enhancing water retention, and strengthening ecosystem resilience.
Water footprint
Water is at the heart of our brand — and a key part of our environmental commitment.
Through our MYMARINI Forest, we contribute to the regeneration of around 6 million liters of groundwater each year while supporting biodiversity and healthy soils. Step by step, we’re balancing out our production’s water footprint. This is our active contribution to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation for All).
Transparent & measurable
We believe that only what gets measured can be improved. That’s why we regularly publish our progress on the Impact Board and in our Impact Report — keeping you up to date on our journey towards an entirely positive footprint.
