Background

ID Genève’s climate strategy focuses on two key areas: first, upstream Scope 3 emissions, that is, emissions generated by our supply chain (raw materials, subcontractors, transportation); and second, downstream Scope 3 emissions, related to the lifecycle of our products. In both of these areas, ID Genève’s results are already significantly below the industry average. For example, the Circular S collection generates 54% fewer emissions than an equivalent conventional watch, and only 8.6% of the materials used in these timepieces are virgin materials.

Beyond our own impact, we aim to drive change across our industry; by sharing our data, methods, and practices, influencing our suppliers, and taking a public stance on circularity in the watchmaking industry, we hope to generate a positive impact within our ecosystem.

Commitment to the 1.5°C Goal

ID Genève is committed to aligning all of its design, sourcing, and partnership decisions with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, in accordance with the Paris Agreement (2015).

Our most significant contribution to the fight against climate change is primarily reflected in the emissions we help prevent by minimizing the climate impact of our products. As a result, for every ID Genève watch sold, the equivalent of 2.13 kg CO₂eq is avoided compared to a standard watch.

In addition to this contribution, we are also focused on:

• continuously reducing the carbon footprint of the supply chain (upstream Scope 3)

• extending product lifespans to reduce the need for new production (downstream Scope 3)

• guiding suppliers and partners toward practices aligned with the 1.5°C target

• actively contributing to the transformation of the watchmaking industry
