LONDON – British fashion e-tailer ASOS has reported a 21 per cent year-on-year reduction in operational carbon emissions per order between September 2019 and August 2020.
Detailed in the company’s 2021 Carbon Report, the figures show that the company has driven down CO2 emissions by way of localised fulfilment centres, renewable energy uptake and more ‘sustainable’ modes of transport.
Nick Beighton, ASOS’ CEO, said: “We’re incredibly proud of what our teams have achieved against a very difficult backdrop. A 21 per cent year-on-year reduction in operational carbon emissions per order is a significant achievement that shows our efforts to decouple our growth from our carbon footprint are having an impact.”
