ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY

WE NEGATIVIZE CARBON, WE POSITIVIZE EVERYTHING ELSE

We are aware of the damage this industry causes to the planet. Therefore, in 2020 we made a firm commitment to adventure and everything that surrounds it. The initial step in that commitment was the launch of our first collection using sustainable materials; but we know it was just the beginning of a long journey.

Our commitment remains unchanged today, and we continue to make progress toward transforming Blue Banana into a leading sustainability brand. Therefore, since the launch of Autumn-Winter '21, our largest collection to date, we have decided to not only offset, but also neutralize, the carbon footprint generated by each of our collections, through a partnership with DCycle, experts in traceability and sustainable transformation strategies. We do this by collaborating with environmental projects coordinated and supervised by the United Nations. You can see the full study of our impact at this link and our UN certification here .

During 2023, we offset a total of 3,457 tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2eq). Of these, 1,182 tons were neutralized through the purchase of CERs for a forest restoration project in Galicia, Spain. In addition, we offset an additional 2,275 tons for a renewable energy project in Oaxaca, Mexico.

With this, we reinforce our commitment to the adventure and take another step toward achieving our goal, becoming the first Spanish fashion brand to go Carbon Negative.

We also collaborate with NGOs working to make the world a better place: PRODIS, which employs people with disabilities and helps us with order management and warehouse organization; Trees for the Future, which planted 25,000 trees in Africa thanks to a donation we made in 2021; Hidden Deserts, which is restoring Mediterranean flora with the support of Blue Banana…

And we also work with renewable energy in all our offices and stores.

With all this, we continue to take steps toward real sustainability, with less impact, greater inclusion, and, above all, a vision for the future.
