Reducing our emissions

Vinted sales and running our business create emissions. 94% of those are delivery-related, so that's our key focus. Since 2023, we've reduced our emissions per delivery and expanded our use of renewable energy, electric and low-carbon vehicles. There’s still a way to go, but we're committed to cutting emissions in line with Science-Based Targets.
