DELSEY PARIS's Commitment
For several years, we have been developing various initiatives to manage our energy and environmental footprint, design more environmentally friendly luggage, and promote socially responsible practices.
In 2023, to go further and consolidate our efforts, we conducted a carbon footprint assessment for DELSEY PARIS. Based on the findings of this assessment and incorporating the expectations of our key stakeholders, we have restructured our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We have set our future goals and directions around 3 main pillars:

PEOPLE
Our mission is to inspire travelers to explore and discover the world. Being an economic player, a brand, and a responsible employer that manages and optimizes its environmental and social impact is a priority for DELSEY PARIS.
Davide Traxler, PDG DELSEY PARIS
We are aware of the emissions associated with our industry, especially in the production and transportation of our products. That's why we are committed to addressing the challenges related to our environmental impact. We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions (both direct and indirect) using an intensity-based approach (emissions per suitcase produced).

We are committed to developing sustainable, secure, and high-quality products while managing our impact and ecological footprint. In product development, we focus on two main aspects: eco-design and product longevity.
Eco-design is crucial and allows our teams to consider product life cycle issues and environmental impact from the design phase. That's why we favor repairable components and focus on the use of replaceable parts such as wheels, handles, and trolley systems. This approach enables us to offer products with global warranties, extending up to 10 years for some items. Our repair centers and Customer Service team are dedicated to supporting our clients in encouraging the repair of their luggage.
Creation of a reparability index for clear and transparent information on the reparability of each product.

Furthermore, we are actively seeking alternatives to the use of virgin plastic and favoring recycled and recyclable materials, especially by developing recycled ranges[2], while ensuring the quality, durability, and safety of our products. The proportion of recycled materials in our products is one of our major indicators, monitored and controlled, with a target to reach 100% by 2028[3].
Our aim is to use 100% recycled materials in our products.
We are committed to eliminating all single-use plastics from our packaging or substituting them with eco-responsible alternatives.
DELSEY PARIS has developed a model policy for selecting and monitoring suppliers. As part of our CSR commitment, we ensure to minimize any social risks and guarantee human rights for everyone working for our suppliers, through the external audit platform AMFORI.
DELSEY PARIS selects its partners based on ESG criteria, which conform to globally accepted standards for social compliance[3]. Partners listed on this platform undergo physical audits by a third party, at least on an annual basis. We ensure that all our suppliers will be audited in 2024 and will adhere to DELSEY PARIS standards. We are also committed to taking necessary actions against any supplier who fails to meet the required environmental and social (ESG) standards.

Regarding the 'Transport' aspect of our supply chains, we have already implemented a number of actions, including optimising container loads and means of transport, and plan to improve the quality of the data available in order to develop precise action plans and optimise the routing of our products. Our aim is to work with transport companies committed to improving their environmental performance and to limit our use of road and air transport.
As an employer, DELSEY PARIS holds a responsibility towards everyone who works with us. We are committed to structured actions on the social part of sustainable development. We support our employees throughout their careers by ensuring a conducive and safe work environment and offering development opportunities to all.
DELSEY PARIS is committed to promoting gender equality and diversity and inclusion through the enforcement of its Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) charter across all its global entities. This charter aims to eliminate all forms of discrimination throughout an employee's career—from recruitment to offboarding—and to foster an inclusive work environment[5]. [5] Gender equality index: 94/100 in 2022.
By the end of 2024, DELSEY PARIS will enable all its employees, regardless of their location, to access professional development opportunities through training, beyond the legal obligations of each territory. It is DELSEY PARIS's intent to enable every individual to fulfill their daily responsibilities within the company.
By the end of 2024, DELSEY PARIS will ensure that all employees are covered by a complementary health insurance plan. The goal is to ensure that all risks are identified and that, regardless of national legislations, all employees have health protection.
IMPACT
PROJECTS
In addition to our commitments and the CSR objectives outlined in our corporate strategy, we contribute to "Impact Projects." This approach does not exempt us from our social and environmental responsibilities, nor does it replace our commitments, but we believe it generates long-term virtuous outcomes.
Building on our commitments and the CSR goals integrated into our corporate strategy, we partner with Green Future Project, an initiative dedicated to preserving biodiversity and combating climate change.
For every purchase made on our website, 1% of the revenue will be allocated to two environmental projects, carefully selected in collaboration with Green Future Project. The funds raised will actively contribute to reforestation and the reduction of CO2 emissions.
The Rimba Raya and Posidonia Oceanica Bergeggi projects aim to protect fragile ecosystems and promote sustainable practices. Reforestation, biodiversity preservation, protection of habitats for endangered species, and decarbonization— together, you and we are making a positive impact.
Preserving and protecting the Rimba Raya Reserve in Indonesia and its rich biodiversity from deforestation.
Restoring marine ecosystems along the Italian coast through the planting of Posidonia Oceanica seagrass meadows, a vital marine plant essential for the balance of the underwater habitat.
