Build sustainability into the luggage and travel products and their supply chains

Use one programme for product sustainability, supply-chain improvement, and claims that can stand up to scrutiny. From circular design and responsible production to decarbonization and verified claims, we put evidence behind every claim.

Our solutions

Across the product and across the supply chain.

Sustainability is not one service. It runs from how the product is designed and what it is made of, through how cleanly it is produced and how the supply chain decarbonizes, to claims a regulator and a customer can both trust. We hold all of it.

For sustainable products

^{Circular design, responsible materials, and claims that hold}

Life-cycle assessment & eco-design
Evaluate environmental impact across the product life cycle to ISO 14040 and 14044, and build eco-design into the brief, from existing-product analysis to comparative life-cycle studies.

Durability & performance testing
Analyse the durability and endurance of the piece and benchmark it against models and competitor products, so longevity becomes part of the sustainability case.

Recycled content
Verify recycled content for plastic and metal materials to TE, GOTS, GRS, and RCS, so a recycled-content claim is certified, not asserted.

Responsible chemical & packaging
PFAS-free products from PFAS testing, restricted-substance lists, and responsible packaging including biodegradability and FSC certification.

Verification, certification & claims
EPD and PEP ecopassport verification and ESPR regulatory-compliance support, with third-party scientific proof to strengthen the claims you make.

For a sustainable supply chain

^{Responsible production, transparency, and decarbonization}

Responsible & cleaner production
Social and environmental audits to international schemes or your own standard, across textiles, softlines, leather goods, and electronics. We work to the scheme your buyers and your category require, including SMETA, amfori (BSCI and BEPI), and the Higg Index for textiles and softlines, and RBA and IECQ-recognised chemical management for electrical and electronic products.

Supply chain & material transparency
Assess, verify, and monitor the details of materials, production, and traceability documentation across the supply chain, including responsible material sourcing and due diligence.

Supply chain decarbonization
Advisory, target setting, and submission support for commitment programmes such as SBTi, plus GHG measurement, data collection, and verification.

Supplier engagement & emission reduction
Supplier training for capability building, facility energy audits, intervention implementation, renewable-energy advisory, and ROI estimation.

Reporting, disclosure & training
CDP reporting support and GHG verification, plus supplier training on regulatory, social, and environmental topics to build capacity at the source.

Schemes, standards & frameworks
Built to the standards and rules each claim and market requires. We build the evidence to the standard each rule requires, not to a generic ranking.

Outcomes & value
What a sustainability programme earns you.

Claims that survive scrutiny Each claim is marked verified, qualified, or removed, with the evidence behind it, so it reads the same to a regulator and a customer.	One engagement, not two vendors Product sustainability and supply-chain due diligence run together, so the strategy, supplier standards, and claims rest on one connected dataset.	Ready before the deadline CBAM, EUDR, the Digital Product Passport, and PPWR all have set dates. We help you have the evidence ready ahead of each, so a new rule is a planned milestone.

An extension of your team
From the strategy to the factory floor, on one programme. Sustainability is set as a strategy and met at the supplier. We work across both, so the plan on paper becomes evidence at the factory and one shared record serves the whole team.
How we work with you
Set a credible strategy We consult on sustainability strategy, targets, and roadmaps, including SBTi target setting, so the plan is credible before you commit to it.	Carry it to the suppliers We translate the strategy into supplier requirements and audits, with responsible-production checks and engagement at source, so the targets are met where the work happens.	Prove it, from one record Third-party verification of claims, carbon, and recycled content, plus GHG measurement and CDP support, drawing on one shared dataset across sustainability and sourcing.

Common questions from ESG and sourcing teams.

+ Is this only about substantiating claims?

No. We cover product sustainability (life-cycle assessment, eco-design, recycled content, PFAS-free) and supply-chain sustainability (responsible production, transparency, decarbonization), then substantiate the claims on top of that work.
+ Can you substantiate a recycled-content claim to audit standard?

Yes, verified to GRS, RCS, TE, and GOTS, with the method on record, so a percentage on the product page holds up under the EU Green Claims Directive.
+ Do you support supply-chain decarbonization?

Yes. We support SBTi target setting and submission, GHG measurement and verification, facility energy audits, and CDP reporting, alongside supplier engagement and training.
+ Are you independent enough for investors and retailers?

Yes. We are a third-party verifier and an accredited audit body across the recognised schemes, including SMETA, amfori, Higg, and RBA, so the evidence stands up to investor and retailer due diligence without relying on self-reported data.
