Nelly is committed to long-term sustainable business - by acting sustainably from economic, social and environmental perspectives.

That means sustainability in the big picture: like our goal to reduce our total emissions by 50% by 2030. And it means sustainability in the small picture: like continuously working to reduce unnecessary returns for every product, driving sustainability issues in all meetings with our suppliers, and testing how we can reduce the use of plastic for our supplier deliveries. That's how we believe change happens - in big and small ways!

We have been a member of STICA since the beginning of 2019 and are committed to reducing our climate impact in line with the 1.5 degree target and reporting emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol.

We are working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals through our Sustainability Agenda, which is linked to six of them in particular.
