Since July 2021 and together with ClimatePartner, we have been calculating our corporate carbon footprint, meaning the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our company.

We generate direct emissions in our operations (scope 1) through the consumption of natural gas for heating in our buildings and the usage of cooling refrigerants for air conditioning in our locations.

We generate indirect emissions in our operations (scope 2) through our consumption of purchased electricity and natural gas. 

Indirect emissions in our upstream and downstream activities (scope 3) relate to the use of energy, the purchase of our packaging and the transportation of it, the waste generated in our operations, our business travels, the commute of our teams and the storage of our data in external datacenters. In this category, we also include emissions generated by the shipment of our customers’ orders and potential returns of orders.

Our purpose is to offer a unique shopping experience, including reliable and speedy shipment and returns. These shipments and returns contribute to more than 80% of our calculated carbon footprint. To reduce this impact, our customers in Europe have the option of choosing between express and standard delivery. 

In order to reduce the emissions from shipments, in 2024, we launched a 5-year partnership with DHL for the GoGreen Plus initiative. The aim of the deal is to reduce CO₂e emissions through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) instead of conventional jet fuel. More information is available here.

There will always be some CO₂e emissions that we cannot avoid or reduce. We take responsibility for these emissions by financially supporting climate projects. For this reason, we are a ClimatePartner certified company and you can track our contributions on the ClimatePartner certified page. 

You can also support climate action by financing a project corresponding to the CO₂e emissions produced by your order's preparation, packaging, delivery, and potential return. You can find more information here.

Waste is a significant part of our impact on the planet. Within our operations, waste is generated mainly in our warehouse, upon reception and subsequent storage of the products from our luxury brand partners. Our main sources of waste are therefore the cardboard and paper we receive from our brand partners, as well as plastics used to protect the goods during storage in our warehouse. We work continuously to increase the percentage of waste that is recycled and reduce the absolute value of the waste we generate. 

Waste is also generated by the packaging that we send to our customers. Information on the composition of our packaging and how to recycle it can be found here.

Mytheresa is an equal-opportunity employer and we do not accept any form of discrimination, harassment, or bullying. It is extremely important for us that equal opportunities are offered to all teams in terms of performance evaluation, career opportunities and payment. To make this happen we rely on the contribution of:

• The Mytheresa Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (DE&I Committee), established in December 2020, which provides advice on diversity, equity and inclusion matters

• The MYCommunity, our employee resource group dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging, which supports the DE&I Committee in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion at Mytheresa

In addition, we have implemented the following:

• A mandatory Diversity, Equity & Inclusion training was rolled out to all teams and is now included in the compulsory training for all new starters

• Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion are included in our leadership training

• We advocate for women in leadership roles, in alignment with our Diversity Policy

• We have committed to sponsoring at least 10 talents from underrepresented backgrounds in their business career in our global offices

• We regularly assess the diversity of our teams and have more than 100 nationalities in our teams

To join the Mytheresa team, please see our career page.

We are committed to transparency and providing our customers with deeper insights into the sustainability practices behind every product and brand partner we feature. Since June 2025, we have added the “Product Journey” section to the product detail pages, providing more detailed information about the product itself and the company behind it.

This initiative aims to enhance transparency regarding the origin of the products and the materials used. While not all brands could be contacted or have opted to participate at this stage, we are continuously working to increase the number of products featuring a detailed Product Journey.

Product information

Where available, the following product information, voluntarily shared by our brand partners, is presented:

• Traceability: To offer a clearer view of the supply chain, we collect and display information on the countries involved in the various production stages. These may include (but are not limited to): Assembly, Confection, Cutting, Dyeing, Finishing, Knitting, Manufacturing, Printing, Sewing, Stitching, Tanning, and Weaving. It should be noted that some of the production stages (like stitching for shoes) may refer only to the upper of the shoe or to the main component of a garment.
  The traceability information provided reflects the key stages of the product journey. It is presented for transparency purposes and does not alter the official country of origin as indicated in the Product Details section or on the product label.

• Materials: The percentage of recycled or synthetic content is calculated by our brand partners, primarily by dividing the weight of the respective material in the product by the total weight of the garment. Please note that the methodology may vary slightly between brands and that the percentage may reflect the main component of the garment.

A higher share of synthetic content may lead to the release of plastic microfibers into the environment during washing. We encourage you to consult our care instructions for tips on how to reduce microfiber shedding, and care for garments responsibly.

The recycled content in our products may come from various sources, including textile-to-textile recycling (where old textiles are processed into new fibers), post-consumer recycled materials (where discarded materials such as plastic bottles and other discarded consumer goods are processed into fibers), and pre-consumer / post-industrial recycled materials (where production waste and offcuts from manufacturing processes are processed into fibers).

Each of these recycling methods contributes to waste reduction. However, their environmental benefits can vary. Textile-to-textile recycling is seen as particularly impactful due to its closed-loop approach, keeping materials in the textile cycle and helping reduce the demand for virgin fibers.

Responsible Sourcing Assessment

We also share the result of our Responsible Sourcing Assessment within this section.  This assessment is performed to evaluate the sustainability practices of the companies behind our brand partners and to provide deeper insights to our customers.

Our assessment is based on a rigorous methodology that includes the key components detailed below. Recognition in the Responsible Sourcing Assessment refers solely to company-level practices and does not imply product-level verification.

• B Corp™ Certification: Certified B Corporations™ are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This is a community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good, that demonstrate a high social and environmental performance.

• EcoVadis Sustainability Ratings: EcoVadis is one of the world’s largest and most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings. Our brand partners are invited to complete an EcoVadis questionnaire tailored to their industry, region, and company size. Only assessments completed within the last two years are considered, and assessments at the Group level are accepted. The EcoVadis rating methodology measures the quality of a company’s sustainability management system through three pillars (policies, actions, and results) and across up to 21 sustainability criteria, covering 4 categories: environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. EcoVadis sustainability experts analyze the provided responses and supporting documents to establish a rating. If a brand partner does not complete the EcoVadis questionnaire, we consider other recognized sustainability assessments when available.

• Transparency & Information Sharing: We assess the level of transparency of each brand partner by reviewing the sustainability information they provided during the year.

The results obtained allow us to categorize the assessed brand partners who have reached a minimum threshold, defined by Mytheresa, into three groups: Committed, High-Performer, and Leader. Only B Corp™ certified companies are eligible to be assessed as 'Leaders', and all B Corp™ certified companies receive this designation.

The assessment is updated quarterly, and the last assessment was performed on 31/03/2025.
