Behind the scenes at Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris! 🇫🇷 🪡 This week, Marie Samba, our Head of Product and Customer Experience, took to the stage at the event to discuss reducing water and carbon footprints in fashion. Together the group covered: 🔹 Design in driving impact. Decisions made years before launch shape sustainability. 🔹 Data is power. Helping designers choose better materials from the start makes all the difference. 🔹 Collaboration is key. Leaders can align on methodology and data sources for comparability. 🔹 Shifting mindsets. Sustainability should be the norm, not intended or perceived as a premium choice. 🔹 Progress over perfection. Start where you can, and leverage the data that matters over time. Thank you to Texworld for the opportunity, we’re so pleased to be part of these crucial conversations throughout the industry! Feel free to reach out to Marie if you want to chat more about some of the insights shared 🌟 #texworld #sustainablefashion #sustainabilityevent

Your key legislation updates for February 2025 are here. 🌍 While the Omnibus Package faces delays in the EU, the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) move forward with strict supply chain and packaging rules. In the US, California’s SB 253 and SB 261 climate reporting laws clear legal hurdles ahead of 2026 mandates. 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 To get updates from Vaayu’s legislation desk first, sign up for our free Legislation Updates: https://lnkd.in/eUFjwvM4 🔗 #sustainabilitylegislation #legislationupdates #retaillegislation

On average, 90% of a retailer's carbon footprint comes from Scope 3 emissions, which are deeply embedded in supply chains. At Vaayu, we understand that harmonized, connected data and supplier transparency are the backbone of achieving lower impact at scale. 🌱 By enhancing supply chain visibility, businesses can predict emissions trajectories, uncover impact hotspots, measure progress and drive informed action. 🌍 Real-world success stories, like the ones we forge alongside our brand partners, show that better data doesn’t just improve reporting — it actually accelerates meaningful change. Are you using seamless, connected data to drive impact reduction yet? Get in touch to find out how we can help you achieve your reduction goals. #supplychaintransparency #climatetech #sustainablebusiness

Hola from Team Vaayu! 🇪🇸 Our latest off-site took us back to beautiful Valencia, a city that has recently faced the harsh realities of climate change with catastrophic floods. Gathering in person allowed us to connect, reflect and refine how we can better support our partners in tackling climate challenges. We’re excited to bring the work we kicked off this week to life. Experiencing the city’s resilience, ongoing sustainability efforts and local innovations first-hand reinforced our mission: to continuously improve our platform and empower businesses to drive real, lasting impact for the planet. Gracias, Valencia, for the inspiration and and fresh perspective! 🌍 #offsite #teambuilding #climatetech

Using climate data to lead the sustainability conversation: how can businesses turn climate data into a powerful tool for trust, transparency and impact? Precise, actionable data can help brands authentically communicate their sustainability efforts, inspire consumers and drive meaningful change. 📊 Builds credibility and empowers smarter decisions for businesses and consumers. ♻️ Real-world examples, like our work with Vestiaire Collective, show how data-led storytelling can highlight both environmental and financial benefits — thanks for your contribution to this conversation Dounia Wone! ✅ Using data strategically helps brands move beyond greenwashing so they can become sustainability leaders.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is reshaping the way companies approach sustainability, requiring in-depth disclosures across a range of topical standards: 1️⃣ Environmental (50%): Tackling climate change, pollution, water and marine resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, resource use and circular economy. 2️⃣ Social (35%): Covering the company’s own workforce, workers in the value chain, affected communities, consumers and end users. 3️⃣ Governance (15%): Addressing business conduct, management of sustainability matters, risk management and controls. What this means for sustainability teams: → Data collection and harmonization (own operations and supply chain) → Cross-department collaboration (e.g., finance, procurement) → Clear, actionable insights for goals and risk management 🇪🇺 CSRD isn’t just about compliance — it’s a chance for businesses to lead the way in transparency, accountability and sustainability. Get in touch for support on CSRD this year! #CSRD #ESG #transparency

Yesterday, our Co-Founder and CEO Namrata Sandhu participated in an insightful discussion on ‘Novel Technology Enabling Circular Fashion’ alongside the British Fashion Council’s CFIN, ProcureCircular and Reflaunt. Together, they explored how cutting-edge technology, AI and machine learning are transforming circularity in fashion, including: ♻️ The potential for reductions, optimizations and systems change to make circularity achievable at scale. 🟢 The critical role of technology in closing data gaps to provide a fuller picture with minimal effort or disruption. 📊 Starting small with data progression — taking initial steps, even if imperfect, and scaling for better calculations. ✅ How AI ensures calculations are reporting-ready for transparency and compliance. A big thank you to CFIN, moderator Tom Vino, and our fellow participants Maria Sofia Gazzotti and Jordanna Marshall, for the engaging discussion and for advancing the conversation on circular fashion innovation! #climatetech #circularinnovation #circulareconomy

We’re thrilled to share that Vaayu has been accepted into the CIRPASS-2 Expert Working Group 4 (EWG4) and Community of Practice! CIRPASS-2 - Digital Product Passport (DPP) is an EU-funded initiative focused on creating a common framework for DPPs, with the aim of promoting circularity and traceability across multiple industries. 💫 This milestone allows us to contribute directly to shaping DPP innovations and collaborate with industry peers on new ways to leverage data for circularity and sustainability. Contributing to EWG4 is central to our mission of delivering practical, data-driven innovations at scale for a lower-impact retail industry. As part of this initiative, we’ll have early access to the upcoming CIRPASS-2 online community platform, where we’ll help showcase real-world DPP pilots and services, exchange knowledge and drive innovation on behalf of our partners and the wider retail sector. Stay tuned as we work alongside CIRPASS-2 to champion the next generation of circular, transparent, and compliant retail practices. Thanks to CIRPASS for your ongoing support, and to our team, including Zhulieta Dobcheva and Donald Ristow, for bringing this to life! 🌟 #cirpass #digitalproductpassports #VaayuPartner

👣 Perfume is a complex category with intricate supply chains, but real-time footprint insights, traceable ingredients and innovative tools like digital product passports are set to transform the way fragrances are produced, marketed, purchased and enjoyed. At Vaayu, we help businesses to meet growing consumer demand while reducing their environmental impact. This is particularly relevant this year, as 45% of fashion and beauty brands are expected to sell a fragrance in 2025 (Glossy). As the fragrance category continues to boom, sustainability in production and consumer experience will become a key differentiator for brands. So, if your brand is stepping into the fragrance world, we can ensure this growth has a lighter footprint together. 🌍 #fragrance #retailindustry #climatetech
