Solution	To achieve its sustainability goals, Ganni partnered with Plan A to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the company's corporate carbon footprint. Using Ganni's internal data and following the GHG protocol methodology, Plan A calculated Ganni's entire corporate carbon footprint, focusing specifically on purchased materials and their emission intensity. These calculations were used in Ganni's annual sustainability report and adjusted for Ganni's annual reporting into the CDP database. After measuring and reporting on their emissions, Plan A worked with Ganni to set absolute reduction targets and define the pathways to achieve them. This included calculating pathways in line with SBTi to achieve a significant reduction of absolute emissions by 2030 and reviewing Ganni's proposed insetting strategy to embed sustainability into their suppliers and across their value chain.
