Creating a safe and fulfilling workplace

Our unique business proposition and culture of creativity are key to attracting talent, but we also invest in providing an inclusive, fair, safe and dynamic working environment where teams across our value chain can thrive.

For our teams we maintain a strong focus on mental and physical health and well-being. We are also committed to promoting individual growth and development while ensuring a fair working environment. For our warehouse teams, we maintain a strategic focus on safety in line with our target of avoiding work-related accidents.

We are equally concerned about safe and fair working conditions throughout our supply base. We have already started to evaluate our Westwing Collection suppliers against key standards on workers’ health, safety, dignity and fair wages and will continue to work towards enhancing the overall consideration of workers’ rights and satisfaction.

Taking climate action

Our climate focus has evolved: We initially purchased carbon credits to support removal projects and broaden our impact while defining our targets. Now, with science-based targets in place, we are focusing on direct emissions reductions, such as switching to renewable electricity.

Using the methodology provided by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we have set and validated emissions targets that will help us move forward in line with the Paris Climate Agreement.

To tackle our largest source of GHG emissions, the supplier emissions, we streamlined the data collection process and calculated Scope 3 emissions. We also refined our calculation approach to align fully with the GHG Protocol and completed a comprehensive Scope 3 emissions assessment.
