Assessment methodology

The basis for offsetting was an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) in accordance with ISO 14040 and 14044 in compliance with the applicable PCR (Product Category Rules), which was prepared by WAP Sustainability Consulting, LLC on behalf of Garrett Leather. A detailed review of the LCA by Fokus Zukunft has not been carried out.
Declared unit: 1 m²

In the LCA Report, the product “Mira” corresponds to the product described here “Cielo”

The term “cradle-to-grave” refers to the consideration of a product’s greenhouse gas emissions “from the cradle to the grave”, i.e. all life cycle phases are included, from the extraction of raw materials to the disposal of the product. This accounting approach should always be chosen for a PCF that is a final product or an intermediate product for which the subsequent function in use is known.

reduction measures

The company is aware that greenhouse gas emissions must be avoided and reduced as far as possible. Offsetting by means of carbon credits shall only be perceived as an additional – if albeit vital – measure to achieve the 1.5°C target set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. The offsetting share must be gradually reduced in this context.

Offsetting

The company has acquired carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gas emissions as assessed.
