CDP recognises Westwing’s progress in supplier engagement

1 June 2026

Westwing has received an A score in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) and has now been included on the 2025 Supplier Engagement Leaderboard. The recognition highlights our ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration with suppliers and business partners on climate action and emissions transparency across the value chain.

As more than 98% of Westwing’s emissions originate beyond our direct operations, reducing Scope 3 emissions remains central to our climate strategy. This includes emissions linked to raw material extraction, manufacturing, inbound logistics and last-mile delivery. Addressing these impacts requires close cooperation with suppliers, logistics providers and partners across the supply chain.

Over the past year, Westwing further expanded engagement with Westwing Collection suppliers, brand partners and logistics carriers on carbon footprinting and science-based target (SBT) preparation. The engagement approach was designed to reflect different levels of climate maturity across partners, enabling more targeted and practical collaboration.

To support this process, Westwing continued strengthening internal capabilities through training on emissions calculation methodologies and SBTi requirements across procurement, logistics and sustainability teams. This helped facilitate more effective dialogue with suppliers at different stages of their decarbonisation journey — from partners beginning to build emissions inventories to those already advancing climate targets and emission reduction plans.

We have also continued advancing transparency and data quality across Scope 3 categories, recognising that reliable emissions data and consistent collaboration are essential to driving meaningful reductions over time.

As part of its climate roadmap, Westwing aims for 80% of suppliers by spend to have validated science-based targets by 2027. This includes Westwing Collection suppliers, third-party product suppliers, and upstream transportation and distribution partners. In 2025, 20.6% of supplier spend was already covered by targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

“Reducing emissions across the value chain requires close and pragmatic cooperation with our suppliers and logistics partners,” says Felix Ehrlicher, VP Buying & Quality at Westwing. “By structuring our engagement around different levels of climate maturity, we can provide more targeted support and help accelerate progress across our supplier network.”

Westwing will continue working with suppliers and partners to advance emissions transparency, support science-based target adoption and reduce Scope 3 emissions.
