Gore sets carbon emissions goals

24/06/2020
W. L. Gore & Associates has a new sustainability framework for its fabrics division, “working towards” becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

In 2019, the division completed an evaluation of its carbon footprint. Using 2016 as a baseline, it has set absolute carbon reduction goals for its GORE-TEX brand.

By 2030, it aims to reduce absolute carbon emissions originating in Gore’s manufacturing sites and offices by 60%, and carbon emissions of its GORE-TEX products by 35%.

Ross MacLaine, sustainability leader of the Gore Fabrics Division, said: “We will continue to focus our efforts on sustainability led innovations and our initiatives to maximise the societal value we create. 

“Alongside this, there is a continual commitment to work to minimise the environmental impact of our operations and products.”

Gore employs more than 10,500 and generates annual revenues of $3.7 billion.
