Lululemon emissions 'travelling dangerously in the wrong direction': report

Canadian athleisure brand Lululemon has received a failing grade in a climate report that found the company’s emissions grew in 2022 despite its commitments to cut them.

The report, published last month by climate advocacy group Stand.earth, looked at the emissions of 14 of the world’s largest fashion companies that all signed a 2021 charter committing to halve their emissions by 2030.

Some brands made progress towards the goal, but the report found that Lululemon actually increased its emissions in 2022 by 10 per cent.

Stand.earth gave Lululemon a D- grade for its current progress in reaching its climate commitments – tied for the lowest score among all brands studied in the report.
