TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

dbramante1928 is a Danish CE accessories brand focused on device protection, power accessories and carrying solutions made from recycled and 100% recyclable materials or durable upcycled full-grain leather.

Protecting your devices and the planet in

style since 2011, dbramante1928 has been making high-quality products that are as beautiful as they are durable.

dbramante1928 works for sustainable production for all its products, distribution, packaging, and energy consumption. We

Towards nature and climate positive guided by WWF

have set ambitious climate targets in line with the Paris Agreement and are fully committed to delivering on these targets. While we are proud of our achievements, we won’t stop here. There’s still much work ahead to achieve a net-zero future.

The climate science is clear: ALL COMPANIES MUST ACT NOW! TOWARDS

SCIENCE-BASED CLIMATE TARGETS

dbramante1928 believe real climate action is linked to transparent, valid, and sciencebased plans. We have set ambitious climate targets through the international climate initiative, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

SBTi is a non-profit initiative created in partnership between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CPD), the World Resources Institute (WRI), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the UN Global Compact (UNGC). Increasingly, companies are turning to

SBTi as the preferred and most recognized global standard for their climate efforts and reduction targets.

The initiative guides companies in setting science-based climate goals and assesses the validity of companies’ specific action plans.

Our SBTi journey started back in 2021 when it committed to its near-term target to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 by 30% by 2030 with 2018 as the base year. This target has later been optimised to 50% by 2030.

TOWARDS A NET-ZERO FUTURE

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stipulated that all companies must achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

We are following suit and have set approved net-zero targets joining SBTi’s ’Corporate Net-Zero Standard,’ which is the world’s only science-based framework for how companies achieve net-zero.

GUIDED BY EXPERTS: WWF DENMARK PARTNERSHIP

To achieve our mission to operate in a way that helps protect the planet for future generations, we have partnered up with WWF Denmark. Through the partnership, we have committed to becoming a climate positive company.

To achieve this, we:

1. Promote sustainable choices by designing products that are made from recycled and recyclable materials or upcycled materials that would otherwise go to waste.

2. Strive towards 100% renewable energy and phase out fossil fuels as well as continually improve energy efficiency in our supply chain, and enable our customers to do the same through the products and services we offer.

3. Work together with WWF Denmark on a joint biodiversity programme that aims to conserve and rebuild rainforest in Rwenzori Mountains National Park, Uganda, for the benefit of people, nature and the climate.

In general, the guidance from WWF Denmark also assures that our sustainability efforts are in line with the latest climate science.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

When it comes to sustainability we must not forget that in the end sustainability is about people’s well-being. To us, sustainability and social responsibility go hand in hand.

As a Danish company with its leather factory in Kolkata, India, we believe it is essential to give back to the community we work in.

€268.300

With the support of our distributors, we have donated a total of approx. €268.300 (2,000,000 DKK)

By purchasing any dbramante1928 product, some of the profit it generates goes to the Danish NGO LittleBigHelp, who work to create better opportunities for vulnerable children and women in West Bengal, India.

Which for example corresponds to 1,200,005 meals for hungry children

RECOGNISED INDUSTRY LEADERS

IN SUSTAINABILITY

dbramante1928 proudly participated in the UN General Assembly Week in New York City in September 2024, represented by our CEO, Dennis Dress, and CSO, Kristian Gunvald. As the only vendor from our industry invited to participate, their involvement underscored dbramante1928’s role as a leader in responsible business practices. Throughout this influential week, they engaged with world leaders, CEOs, and sustainability advocates at high-profile events. This engagement reinforces dbramante1928’s dedication to leading the charge for sustainable practices both within our company and the industry as a whole.

A PIVOTAL MOMENT: PRIVATE SECTOR FORUM

A significant highlight of the week was our dbramante1928 at the UN General Assembly Week 2024

attendance at the Private Sector Forum, hosted by UN Secretary-General António Guterres. This exclusive gathering convened only 100 CEOs from around the globe to address pressing global challenges. Dennis had the honour of shaking hands with the Secretary-General himself and contributed valuable ideas on how to bridge the gap between the public and private sectors.

“Being invited to the Private Sector Forum and meeting the UN Secretary-General was an incredible honour for me. It reinforced my belief that every company, regardless of size, has a vital role to play in shaping sustainable solutions. It’s a collective journey, and I’m proud that our company is part of it,” shared Dennis Dress, CEO and Cofounder of dbramante1928.

UN GLOBAL COMPACT COMMITMENT

As a part of the UN Global Compact - the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative - we have committed to adopting sustainable and socially responsible policies in correspondence with their ten principles around human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

Furthermore, we have been chosen by the UN Global Compact Denmark to be a part of its published CEO statement from 40 Danish business standing together to advocate for the green transition and a net-zero future.

As representatives of Danish companies driven by high sustainability ambitions, operating globally across various sectors, we take UN Secretary-General Guterres’ call for ambitious and credible commitments and clear and transparent plans and pledges to “rescue the SDGs” very seriously.

Therefore, we stand united, resolute in our determination to take even bolder and measurable steps for a more sustainable and just future and towards combating the climate crisis, reaching our net-zero targets, and upholding the principles of the Paris Agreement.

TOWARDS A WASTE-FREE FUTURE: RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS

In line with WWF’s “No Plastic in Nature” initiative, we work to reduce plastic pollution by replacing single-use plastic products with products made from recovered and recycled plastic materials.

GRS-CERTIFIED RECYCLED PLASTIC

Our recycled plastic products are verified by GRS (Global Recycled Standard) –a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a product.

All our TPU cases, silicone cases, PET bags, chargers, cables and other plastic-based products are made with recycled and recyclable materials with no compromise on quality, functionality and design.

The GRS certification entails both a recycled content certification of the products themselves and a responsible social, environmental and chemical practices certification of their production. We are the only CE accessories brand that uses 100% GRS-certified recycled plastic for our phone cases, chargers, cables and screen protection.

Did you know virgin plastic pollutes more than recycled plastic?

In 2021-2023 our recycled product line has resulted in single-use 0,5L plastic bottles removed from the nature

DANISH PRODUCTION

Our journey producing recycled plastic phone cases started in 2020 in China. Focusing on and investing in a recycled plastic product range, and even getting the entire production GRS-certified, has been a massive step towards achieving our sustainability goals set alongside WWF Denmark. To ensure continuous commitment in the years ahead, 2023 is the year where we move parts of our production to Denmark.

THE BENEFITS OF GOING LOCAL

From a sustainability perspective, there are countless reasons why insourcing to local Danish production facilities is preferred, including:

A massive reduction of our CO2 footprint through local production

A significantly decreased freight emission by not having inventory shipped from China

An improved TTM

Less overproduction as we can produce on a daily basis to respond to real-time demand

The opportunity of creating a circular economy by reusing returns/write-off products to produce new

A reduction of our CO2 emissions by 85% (compared to a virgin plastic production in China)

OWN LEATHER FACTORY:

100% RENEWABLE FACTORY

All our leather goods are produced in our factory in Kolkata, India. We fully control the entire production of our leather goods. This way, we can ensure that our products are of the highest quality, that our production is as sustainable as possible and that our employees work in the best possible conditions.

Our leather factory is 5,000 m2 and is powered by green energy and solar cells placed on the roof. We can proudly say that our leather production is run on 100% renewable energy.

SCOPE 3: FREIGHT

Improving our CO2e emissions is a top priority for us. To achieve this, we have taken measures to switch to more sustainable power sources and freight methods. By having our factory entirely powered by green energy, we have already saved 389 tonnes of CO2e.

In addition, we are proud to share that our Scope 3 freight emissions for 2023 have only increased by 2%, despite a 90% increase in tonnes of products shipped, compared to 2021. We remain committed to minimizing our carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.

UPCYCLED FULL-GRAIN LEATHER

Our leather products are handcrafted from the finest and strongest type of leather, fullgrain leather. Due to the material’s durability, full-grain leather prolongs the product life cycle. As full-grain leather develops a beautiful patina with time, it also ensures that our products look great for ages.

All of the hides we use as raw materials are by-products from the meat and dairy industry that would otherwise go to waste.

FSC-CERTIFIED PACKAGING

All our packaging is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) approved, which confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability.

FSC-certified forests are managed to strict environmental, social, and economic standards.

P RODUCT E NVIRONMENTAL F OOTPRINT

At dbramante1928, we believe in full transparency. That’s why we’re proud to be the first in our industry to provide Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) data for all our products.

PEF is the only EU-backed method for measuring a product’s environmental footprint across its entire lifecycle—from raw material extraction to disposal. Unlike traditional Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs),

PEF-based LCAs adopts a stricter and standardised approach, reducing individual interpretations or personal evaluations regarding what should be included in a life cycle assessment. This methodology ensures greater consistency, accuracy, and comparability in sustainability data.

To guarantee the highest accuracy, we collaborate with Danish company MÅLBAR, experts in PEF methodology.
