Vinted's sustainability narrative relies heavily on avoided emissions from second-hand fashion, but operational transparency is weak. The company has disclosed no absolute Scope 1/2 or Scope 3 figures, only intensity targets and partial renewable energy data. Rapid business growth masks whether operational emissions are actually declining.
Vinted scores 46/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
