The climate challenge

When we burn fossil fuels for energy, we generate greenhouse gas emissions, which act like a blanket for the earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.

between 1850 and 2016 the planet has been warming rapidly. This change in temperature has caused wildfires, catastrophic storms and floods, food scarcity, droughts, and biodiversity loss, as well as increasing health risks.

Our decarbonization journey

2006

We began to monitor, reduce and partially neutralize our emissions.

2018

We became a carbon-neutral company (scope 1 and 2).

2024

We submitted to SBTi to become Net Zero by 2050 at the latest, also defining our CO2 emissions reduction roadmap for 2030.

2030

SBTi short-term target as an intermediate step to become Net Zero.

2050

We have submitted our target to be Net Zero by 2050 (scope 1, 2 and 3).

How will become Net Zero by 2050

To achieve Net-Zero emissions, a company must:

First focus on reducing critical emissions according to the latest climate science

Then, neutralise any residual emissions through carbon removal, reforestation and afforestation projects.

To neutralize our emissions

To neutralise our carbon emissions as much as possible, we have partnered with two organisations that are regenerating important ecosystems to help tackle climate change.

The Ethiotrees project in Ethiopia regenerates forests and provides aid to families who are vulnerable following the Tigray war.
The Scolel'te project restores forests and agroforestry systems in Chiapas, Mexico, bringing social benefits to the local people.

In balance with nature

We all leave our imprint on the Earth, one way or another. How we choose to do so makes all the difference. We decided to step lightly.

INVOLVING OUR SALONS, CLIENTS AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES

In 2024, we’re encouraging you to adopt behaviours that protect our planet and become a Land Keeper. As a thank you, we’ve created a special, sustainable gift with purpose.

How to create a more sustainable hair care routine

Discover how you can contribute to do your part to mitigate climate change.

OPT FOR A COOLER AND SHORTER SHOWER

Most of the CO2 emissions related to haircare come from water heating, so the cooler and shorter the better.

USE ONLY THE WATER YOU REALLY NEED

Switch the shower off while you wash your hair, then run it again when you need to rinse.

TRY LEAVE ON PRODUCTS, WITH NO RINSING

Prefer products that don’t need to be rinsed out, like leave-on masks and conditioners.

LET YOUR HAIR AIR DRY NATURALLY

Hair dryers use a lot of electricity, so choose the coolest setting or, better still, air dry for fewer emissions

REDUCE STYLING TIME WITH PRIMERS

Choose dedicated primers that reduce blow drying time without compromising your style.

OPT FOT A DRY SHAMPOO TO REFRESH YOUR HAIR

Washing less often means less hot water use - a dry shampoo like More Inside Dry Shampoo will help your hair stay fresh for longer.

CHOOSE RENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPLIERS

Make sure your energy comes from a sustainable source. Our production plant in Parma, Italy is powered entirely by renewable energy.

Decarbonisation FAQs

Why is Davines a carbon neutral company?

Davines has been Carbon Neutral since 2018 because we monitor, reduce and neutralise scope 1 and 2 emissions.

What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?

Scope 1, 2, and 3 describe different types of emissions that occur through a company’s supply chain:

- Scope 1 emissions are those that a company produces directly through its operations e.g. employees driving company vehicles.

- Scope 2 emissions are the indirect emissions produced by a company while using energy, which is produced on its behalf e.g. having lights on in an office.

- Scope 3 emissions are indirect and include all of the value chain for which the organisation is responsible e.g. emissions produced by suppliers, or customers using the company’s products.

What is the difference between carbon neutral and Net Zero emissions?

A company can be called Carbon Neutral when it counterbalances its emissions through carbon compensation or neutralisation - there is no requirement to reduce emissions.

To achieve Net Zero emissions, a company must first focus on reducing critical emissions according to the latest climate science before neutralising any residual emissions through carbon removal.

At Davines, we have gone beyond the minimum requirements for carbon neutrality, and are working towards being Net Zero, using targets created together with SBTi (Science Based Target Initiative).
