Canada Goose impact strategy: reclaimed fur, carbon neutrality
01/05/2020
By 2025, the company plans to have achieved net zero direct and indirect (Scope 1 and 2) greenhouse gas emissions, reducing emissions by more than 80 per cent from current levels.
In 2022, the company plans to introduce reclaimed fur into its supply chain, which means it will begin to manufacture parkas using reclaimed fur and end the purchasing of new fur. The company also plans to launch a consumer buy-back program for fur in the months ahead.
The company has committed to being 100 percent RDS-certified by 2021. Last year, in partnership with Textile Exchange, the company completed third-party compliance audits at 100 percent of its manufacturing facilities.
By 2025, 90 percent of the brand’s fabrics should be bluesign approved for responsible and sustainable practices, which will mark an increase from 32 percent in 2019.
Canada Goose also plans to eliminate single-use plastics in all of its owned or controlled facilities.
"No matter how much we've done over the last 60 years, we need to do more – the world can't wait,” said Dani Reiss, president and CEO. “Our aggressive commitments outlined in our first Sustainability Report are the steps we're taking to transform the way we do business and ensure we are doing everything we can to create the future we want to see."
The company said it achieved carbon neutrality as of March 2020 through investments in strategic offsetting projects, equivalent to 200% of its annual greenhouse gas emissions.
