3.2023 Carbon Footprint

Measuring Impact with Precision

616 tons of CO2 equivalent—that’s MoEa’s carbon footprint for 2023. This comprehensive study includes not just product impacts like LCAs (Life Cycle Assessments), but also business travel, communication materials, and office energy use. Armed with this data, we’ve developed a five-year action plan to grow the brand sustainably.

4.€120,000 Raised for Vakita

Thanks to the exclusive MoEa x Vakita sneaker, we’ve been able to donate an incredible €120,000 to Vakita. This digital platform, created by Hugo Clément, highlights initiatives, solutions, and ideas to build a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.

5.Launching Our First TEXTILE Sneaker

Made from Banana Fibers

The GEN4 is more than just a sneaker—it’s MoEa’s first textile model made from banana fibers! Launched for the Spring-Summer 2024 collection, it’s crafted from abaca, a banana species that requires no irrigation or pesticides to grow. With a carbon footprint of just 9.13kg per pair—70% lower than a leather sneaker of similar weight, according to a 2024 LCA by FAIRLY MADE®—the GEN4 is a game-changer.

6.Creating an Innovative Eco-Design Tool

Material choice and production methods are at the core of MoEa’s strategy to offer products with a limited environmental impact. For over two years, we’ve conducted LCAs to calculate the emissions of our collections. This year, we took it a step further by developing an eco-design tool with an external expert, enabling us to estimate the impact of future collections during the design phase. This ensures we rigorously select materials that meet our sustainability goals.

7.Collaboration with Disney

for the Release of Moana 2

We’re thrilled to have created two sneaker designs—one for adults and one for kids—inspired by Moana 2. This marks the debut of both our children’s models and our new CoconutSkin material, made from coconut fibers.
