Aspirational jacket maker Canada Goose is making strides.
As for materials, Canada Goose said it transitioned more than 75 percent of its materials to preferred fibers and materials , as defined by organization Textile Exchange. The definition includes materials that are recycled, organic or plant-derived, among other criteria. For product innovations, this envelops its “Kind Fleece,” which uses 62 percent recycled wool, 18 percent Tencel, 13 percent Sorona and 7 percent polyamide. .
In recent strides, the aspirational jacket maker has made charitable contributions to causes such as Polar Bears International, or $1,072,325 in fiscal year 2022, as well as wartime relief for impacted communities in Ukraine. Canada Goose, together with reverse logistics partner Debrand, diverted 61 percent of its total global warranty waste from the landfill in fiscal year 2022 — enabling 3,430 garments to be upcycled or donated.
Certain goals are still underway, however. The brand committed to eliminate single-use plastics by the end of 2022 but the work is still in progress. The same can be said for its renewable energy commitments and tier 1 factory assessments which are also stalled. The brand said COVID-19 was part of the disruption.
On the milestones thus far, Gavin Thompson, senior vice president of corporate citizenship at Canada Goose, said more change is ahead. “We continue to actively transform our business, while remaining true to our purpose to keep the planet cold and the people on it warm. I’m proud of our employees and thankful to our partners, who join us in our commitment to this purpose.”
