CLIMATE AND EMISSIONS

We are committed to achieving a Net Zero value chain by 2050.

At Vakko, 60% of the production volume across our collections is carried out in Türkiye in line with sustainability principles.

Since 2021, we’ve been continuously monitoring our carbon footprint and energy consumption. We are proud to share that through our sustainability initiatives, we have successfully reduced our energy consumption with the aid of technological investments.

In 2022, we made a substantial investment in an environmentally friendly Fixing Machine resulting in significant energy savings throughout our value chain.

As part of our carbon footprint reduction initiative, we have switched majority of our fleet of company cars to electric vehicles.

WATER AND WASTE

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability regarding our water usage and waste management.

Since 2020, through a range of strategic measures, we’ve actively reduced both our water consumption and waste output.

Since 2012, we’ve implemented Document Management Programs across all our operations to reduce paper consumption, while transitioning our business processes to digital platforms has been effective in reducing our carbon footprint.

Moreover, our investment in the Continuous Washing Machine has yielded impressive results, with a remarkable 98% reduction in water consumption and a 97.5% decrease in chemical usage.

Under our W Collection Men’s line, the production of our “Green Prescription Denim” requires significantly lower energy and water usage.

On a broader scale, we’ve reaffirmed our dedication to sustainability by the Zero Waste Project launched in 2020.

TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE

We believe in passing down the knowledge and know-how for a sustainable future.
