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.
