Our aim is to dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of our operations and global supply chain. Together with peers and industry organizations, we are setting ambitious targets to address the impacts of our business.

In FY20, we achieved two of our environmental goals: to set a 100 percent renewable energy goal for our owned and operated facilities by 2019 and to set science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets for our operations and supply chain by 2020. We are now putting programs and policies in place to work toward our science-based target to reduce our absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2030. Renewable electricity is at the heart of our strategy and will become the sole source of power in our stores, offices and distribution centers by 2025.

From manufacturing to distribution centers to product end of life, we are identifying ways to replace, improve and create processes that will eliminate waste and help us progress towards our commitment to bring zero waste principles into all aspects of our business and value chain. In FY20, we developed our excess inventory management principles. These were created to minimize waste, maximize the value of our products in their first and next life, keep all materials at their highest and best use while maintaining the integrity of our brand. During the year we also made progress toward our zero waste to landfill goal across our distribution centers. In FY20, we achieved 90 percent diversion at our owned distribution centers in North America. In FY21, we will work to achieve similar diversion rates in our third- party operated distribution centers in Europe and Asia.

We’re also helping suppliers measure and manage their use of energy and water, which comprises the majority of our environmental impact. We’ve teamed up with trusted environmental experts, like the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and the World Wildlife Fund, to chart a path to lower impact.
