## Sustainability story

We believe that every company should at least offset its carbon footprint. This should be the standard. At Graphene-X we assume that responsibility, but we put an extra focus on making products that last. 
 
Fast fashion has taken over. Things are no longer meant to last. Long gone are the times when inheriting a jacket from your dad or grandpa was something to be proud of. This meant that the jacket was a heck of a jacket and most probably done out with the best materials and elements out there. We believe in getting back to that level of products, and Graphene is the game-changer material that empowers our fabrics to make this possible.

## Emissions (2024)

**Methodology:** Graphene X's inventory uses spending data to estimate GHG emissions. Graphene X attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate Project team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 277 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 0 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 277 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per unit of product — unit of product
