Vestiaire Collective's resale model delivers inherent environmental benefit—displacing new production—but sustainability reporting lags accountability. Emissions tracking is GHG Protocol-aligned yet lacks third-party verification; carbon credit methodology faces credible NGO criticism for greenwashing risk. Governance is adequate but TCFD/CSRD absent.
