Planet | Reducing Our Impact on the Environment

We have a deep love and respect for the planet and through our business operations work to combat climate change, reduce waste and protect the environment.
Since 2019, we’ve been working towards GHG reduction targets aligned with the SBTi methodology. We are proud of the steps we have taken in this time to reduce our impact.
But we realise that we, like everyone, must do more.
Our targets.
The SBTi has approved our near-term science-based emissions reduction target. And we have also committed to set long-term emissions reduction targets with the SBTi in line with reaching net zero by 2050.
From a 2019 base year, we have committed to:
Our progress.
SBTi near-term targets.
We commit to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 46% by 2030 from a 2019 base year and to measure and reduce scope 3 emissions.
Progress - Scope 1 and 2

Aiming higher with renewable energy.
Supply chains are complex, but by working in partnership, we can reduce environmental impact to benefit us all.
We are directly engaging with and influencing how our manufacturing partners operate and therefore can support them in making changes which minimise their impact. Transitioning to renewable energy is crucial within this so that the textile industry can move away from its dependence on fossil fuels.
In 2024, 65% of our production was manufactured in factories that use renewable energy- a figure which we are committed to further grow.
You can see the % of renewable energy used in the final manufacturing stage of all of our products by viewing their Material Facts table.
Research from the European Outdoor Group (EOG) shows that plastic polybags have the least environmental impact for protective packaging for outdoor products. Even compared to bio-degradable and paper options. The biggest issue with plastic is its disposal.
In collaboration with the EOG Single-Use Plastics Project, we collect polybags from our online orders in the US and UK and send these to nearby recycling facilities. In the UK, these polybags are recycled into high-quality pellets that can be sold back to industry. So old polybags can be made into new polybags.
We’ve saved 7.75 tonnes of polybags from going to landfill since SS21, equating to over 500,000 polybags.
You can read more about our targets, progress and our improved approach to calculating our emissions in our latest Sustainability Report, along with our other Planet highlights.
We’re applying the lessons learned in the outdoors to the serious challenges facing our world.
From climate change and the pressure on precious natural resources to fairness and opportunity for all. We aim higher, and we find a better way.
