Our Full Value Chain Carbon Footprint

Estimating our carbon footprint informs the urgent action we’re taking in response to the climate crisis. It determines how we align to our Science Based Targets and stay within a 1.5 scenario.

Our methodology follows the GHG Protocol and look at the whole-life from raw material to use and end of life. We estimate that 75% of the carbon impact of a product is from the raw materials and manufacture process. Just 20% of the impact is in your ownership and is from how you choose to shop, use, care and ultimately pass on your gear. The single biggest thing you can do is use your gear for longer. Extending the life of our gear say from 3 years to 5 years will reduce your carbon footprint by 40%. And then pass it on or recycle when you’re done with it so it doesn’t go to landfill.

What we achieved this year

• Delivered our SBTi commitment to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 46% from our 2019 base year

• On track to net zero by 2050 which is a 90% reduction in carbon intensity. We have reduced our emissions per order by 36% from 2019 to 2022.

This year we will

We will continue to do our bit to reduce impact:

• Screen factories based on ethos and values.

• Make long lasting, repairable and recyclable performance products without compromise.

• Choose environmentally preferable materials.

• Minimise airfreight and transport.

• Move to factories that also use renewables.

• Repair products and offer Continuum to find products new homes when you’re done with them.
