Mulberry's footprint was 18,457 tCO2e in its year to March 2026, including the leather it buys, up 57% on the year as production rose and its calculation method changed. Its near-term targets are SBTi-validated, a 37.8% absolute cut by 2028, but it is only about 15% below its 2019/20 baseline, and the SBTi lists its net-zero commitment as removed. All its sites moved to renewable electricity tariffs in October 2025, all its leather comes from accredited tanneries and it repaired over 9,200 products in the year, but no one has independently verified that its leather is deforestation-free.
