Management of environmental issues

Management of environmental issues

In order to keep a balance between constant business expansion and environmental responsibility, we strive to mitigate the adverse impacts of our operations, including by minimising waste, reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, expanding and investing in green logistics, and raising environmental awareness.

We recognise our impacts on the environment and climate in various areas of the value chain, the supply chain in particular, therefore we commit our suppliers to compliance with environmental regulations and rational use of resources.

We consistently monitor and evaluate the implemented measures, revise the set strategic objectives, monitor our environmental impact and conducts audits of our suppliers in order to be able to actively manage the environmental area and implement solutions that benefit both the organisation and the environment.

Circularity

In 2021, we developed and implemented the Circular Economy Roadmap, a plan for applying the principles of a circular economy across CCC in 2021 to 2025. The roadmap is based on the key aspects of circularity, including circular raw materials, circular packaging, product quality control, logistics efficiency and sustainable sales information.

Our plan comprises ten projects and over 50 concrete initiatives with specified completion dates.

Roadmapa

The “Give Your Shoes a Second Life” campaign started in 2020 as a pilot in Poland. By 2024, it expanded to all stores in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, with pilot projects in Hungary and Romania. Over 43,600 pairs of shoes were collected in 2024 alone, and more than 109,000 pairs since the initiative began. Additionally, through the “EcoReturns with InPost” program launched in 2022, nearly 10,000 pairs have been collected, including 4,000 in 2024.

The initiative supports CCC Group’s goals in circular economy, environmental education, and minimizing environmental impact. By 2030, the target is to achieve an 8% collection rate relative to sales and to further expand the program.

Climate change

Climate change

The CCC Group’s approach to climate change is based on a climate risk and scenario analysis conducted in 2022 and updated in 2024 in line with ESRS standards. In addition, a comprehensive materiality assessment was carried out in 2024, identifying 15 significant impacts and 6 material sustainability-related risks, including those related to climate. An update of the 2020 risk analysis is planned for 2025.

Our impact on climate change can be seen mainly in the following areas:

  • fuel and energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions
  • greenhouse gas emissions from transport
  • production of raw materials and materials used in footwear manufacture. .

The CCC Group’s priority in addressing climate change is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the share of renewable energy in the Group’s overall energy mix—including self-generated solar power—and by improving the energy efficiency of its operations. Key measures include eliminating unnecessary energy consumption in retail stores, continuously enhancing store energy efficiency, and reducing the use of high-emission materials in the production of private-label and licensed products.

In 2024, 100% of the electricity purchased for offices, logistics centers in Polkowice, and CCC, HalfPrice, and MODIVO stores with individual energy contracts came from renewable sources. Overall, renewable energy accounted for 28.45% of the CCC Group’s total energy consumption in 2024, including self-generated energy.

Since 2020, the CCC Group has reported to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) on Climate Change. Additionally, the Group began reporting on Water in 2023, and in 2024 also reported on Forests. CDP is a non-profit organization that operates a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and regions to manage their environmental impacts.
