At Otrium, we’ve been steadily building a smarter, more sustainable way to connect premium fashion brand's unsold inventory with people who’ll love it. Our mission—to ensure every piece of clothing is worn—has guided us from day one, alongside our vision to become Europe’s leading off-price destination. The launch of our fully automated warehouse in Almelo marks a major next step on that journey, strengthening the logistics backbone that powers our growing platform.

Otrium, the B Corp-certified off-price fashion marketplace working to ensure all clothing is worn, has received official validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. This milestone strengthens Otrium’s commitment to aligning with global climate science and advancing the decarbonisation of fashion. With its newly approved targets, Otrium Holding B.V. commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 33.6% by 2028 from a 2023 base year. Otrium Holding B.V. also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting 33.6% within the same timeframe.

Otrium is committed to the mission that all clothing produced should be worn. While no item or fashion brand can be perfectly 'ethical,' there are many areas where brands can make significant improvements. We want to support fashion companies striving for more responsible fashion and empower consumers to understand what this journey entails.

What makes a fashion brand “Ethically rated” at Otrium?

At Otrium, we're thrilled to share the progress we've made in 2023 and to reaffirm our commitment to creating a positive impact in the fashion world. This year, we assessed the development across four priorities of our impact strategy: extending the life cycle of fashion, climate & nature, inspiring better choices, and responsible leadership. While these achievements are a source of pride, we’re even more excited about our plans for continuous improvement.
