DIESEL

Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. We assume larger brands are still dependent on high emissions materials. DIESEL uses both lower emissions materials such as recycled cotton, organic cotton, Tencel Lyocell, and recycled polyester, as well as high emissions materials including spandex, and elastane. It uses materials that have certifications from GOTS, GRS, RWS, RCS, REGENAGRI®, RMS, RAS and RDS. It has plans to reduce its reliance on high emissions materials by committing to achieve at least 25% of lower impact key raw materials/priority materials by 2025 as per Fashion Pact and Textile Exchange's definition. Commons wasn't able to find recent reported progress on this goal within the last year. We expect large brands to report at least annually on any stated goals.

DIESEL and its parent company share information on its energy strategy. They use 100% renewable electricity at production sites and corporate offices in North America, and a majority of renewable electricity at European storefronts. It reports using a majority of renewable electricity globally. OTB Group has targets for expanding its use of renewable energy and has reported on its progress recently, reporting a significant increase year over year. DIESEL implements energy efficiency measures in its corporate offices and storefronts while the parent company implements them in the production sites as well. DIESEL sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.

DIESEL is making efforts to reduce virgin plastic in its packaging, but doesn't provide data to show if it still relies on the high emissions material. It uses some eco-friendly materials in its packaging, including ones that are FSC-certified. It doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging.

DIESEL doesn't offer repair services or support. DIESEL doesn't offer a warranty. It gives basic care instructions that can help extend product lifespan.

DIESEL has a take back program called Diesel Second Hand. This program accepts the brand's own clothes for resale. DIESEL doesn't share details on the efficacy of this program. We expect larger brands to share this information.

DIESEL offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items frequently throughout the year. It limits overproduction and waste via reusing waste/deadstock for its Reconstituted Diesel collection.
