Clarifications on Resale Impact Calculations
- Our Resale Impact calculations rely on the assumption that when customers purchase a product that the Valuence Group stocks and resells*1 instead of a corresponding non-reused product, the resource procurement, manufacturing, transportation and disposal process for the non-reused product is theoretically omitted; we calculate the environmental impact such as CO₂ emissions that the omitted process could have, and show the result as avoided emissions.
- We calculate the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycles*2 with GaBi*3, a life cycle assessment (LCA) database, and by using ISO 14040/14044 as a reference. In addition, our Resale Impact figures are calculated by referring to the avoided emissions per product weight for each product category, estimated based on the average material composition of the products that we assume to represent the category. Therefore, the figures are not obtained by calculating and verifying the actual amount of environmental impact of a particular product.
- Calculations of the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycles and the avoided emissions per product weight for each product category have been conducted under the supervision of Neural Inc. Using these estimated figures, we classify the category and weight of each product and calculate the avoided emissions shown as the Resale Impact. There may be differences in the calculation results between products of the same kind due to differences in the category and weight settings for each product.
- The latest Resale Impact calculation results for each product and the figures indicated on the e-commerce websites, product tag, etc., may differ due to the review of calculation results.
- Since we are not a product manufacturer, our Resale Impact calculations cover products the Valence Group stocks and resells*1 (watches, bags, jewelry, bullion, apparel, and accessories).
- *1 Resale includes consignment sales.
- *2 Calculations of the environmental impact of products are based on the value chain in Japan.
- *3 GaBi is a software program provided by Sphera Solutions GmbH to evaluate the sustainability of products through life cycle assessment.
