For luxury sustainability, operations and procurement leaders
Model the operation before you change it. Then choose the supplier on evidence.
Sustainability decisions in luxury are made twice: once inside the business, where materials, energy, water and circularity determine the footprint, and once outside it, where a supplier is chosen and everything you claim becomes dependent on what they can prove.
Two tools, one sequence. Free, no signup, and everything runs in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded.
The problem these solve
Most sustainability work fails at one of two points: the model, or the evidence.
The first failure is internal. A target is set without a model, so nobody knows which lever actually moves the number, and the programme funds the visible intervention rather than the effective one. In luxury the answer is rarely what people expect: material choice usually dominates, logistics usually does not, and water looks small until it is weighted for where it is withdrawn.
The second failure is external. A supplier is selected on a credential list, and nobody checks which of those credentials is evidenced and in date. Since August 2026 that is no longer only a reputational matter: packaging placed on the EU market carries declarations, PFAS limits and minimisation duties, and environmental claims need substantiation.
Find where the footprint actually sits across operations, materials, logistics and circularity. Test interventions before funding them, and see which ones carry a commercial return rather than just a reduction.
02 — OUTSIDE THE BUSINESS Packaging Decision IntelligenceTake the specification the model asks for to market, and choose between suppliers on verified credentials, impact, circularity, cost and luxury performance, with the house standard treated as a hard limit.
The handover between them is the specification. The planner tells you what the pack should be; the packaging tool tells you who can make it and what their claims are worth.
01 — MODEL THE OPERATION
Luxury Sustainability Planner
Know which lever moves the number before you fund the programme.
Model a luxury operation end to end across twelve categories: site energy and water, materials and their origin, manufacturing, logistics, packaging and end of life. Then test interventions — substitution, process change, circularity, take-back — and see the effect on carbon, water and cost together rather than one at a time.
Circularity is treated as a commercial proposition, not a virtue. Repair, resale and take-back carry revenue, cost and a return, and the model shows whether a programme stands up on its own economics.
Every input carries an evidence grade, so the output states how much of the answer rests on measured data and how much on benchmark factors.
What it models
- Twelve luxury categories and their markets
- Site energy, scope 1 and 2, process water
- Material footprint by origin and recycled share
- Logistics by mode and distance
- Stress-weighted water, not just withdrawal
- Repair, resale and take-back economics
- UN SDG mapping and evidence grading
- EU compliance and a reporting pack export
- Save, CSV export, scenario file, print
02 — CHOOSE THE SUPPLIER
Packaging Decision Intelligence
A claim is not a credential.
Compare packaging suppliers on six dimensions at once: verified sustainability credentials, product impact, circularity, cost, luxury performance and partnerships with ESG organisations. Weights differ by category, because a watch maison and a fragrance house buying a million bottles are not making the same decision.
Every credential carries an evidence status. Verified means an in-date certificate or a public register entry. A claimed credential earns a quarter of the credit and raises a greenwashing flag; an expired one earns nothing. The tool then produces the list of evidence to request before award.
Luxury performance is handled as a floor rather than a weight, because packaging below the house standard cannot be used at all. When that floor rules out the lowest-impact supplier, the tool states the carbon cost of holding it.
What it models
- Twelve category packs, component by component
- Sixteen materials, virgin and recycled factors
- Twelve sourcing regions and five delivery markets
- Eleven credentials with evidence status
- Eight ESG organisation partnerships
- Greenwashing risk and evidence to request
- Must-haves, including the luxury floor
- Cost per tonne avoided against your carbon price
- Save, CSV export, scenario file, print
Compliance, in both tools
The rules changed in 2026. Both tools carry them.
Each tool has a Comply & report tab listing what applies to the configuration on screen, with the instrument named so your adviser can check it, and a downloadable reporting pack that answers a customer questionnaire in one file.
Regulatory position reviewed September 2026. These are prompts for the right questions, not legal advice.
Where to start
Start with the decision in front of you.
Each tool stands on its own, and each exports a scenario file you can send to a colleague or bring to a review.
Setting a reduction target
Start with the Sustainability Planner. Find where the footprint actually sits before committing to a number you will have to defend.
Running a packaging tender
Use Packaging Decision Intelligence to set weights and must-haves before the RFQ, then score suppliers on evidence rather than on their deck.
Answering a client questionnaire
Either tool exports a reporting pack. Send the same file each time, and cite the value chain cap if more is demanded.
Preparing for 2030 packaging rules
Model the current specification against the recyclability grades, and find the components that would be excluded.
Method
What these are, and what they are not.
Planning models built on benchmark defaults, not measurement instruments built on your data. They make a structure of assumptions explicit, let you replace any of them, and show how the answer moves when you do.
Supplier profiles in the packaging tool are illustrative archetypes, not real companies. Pre-loading real suppliers with unverified credentials would be exactly the problem the tool exists to catch. Replace them with your shortlist and record only evidence you have seen.
Ask suppliers for a product EPD or an ISO 14040/44 assessment of your specification. That moves the impact figures from benchmark to supplier-specific, which is the difference between comparing options and publishing a number.
