Canada Goose has completed its first five-year sustainability strategy, cutting market-based Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from its FY19 baseline and securing SBTi-approved climate targets.
In FY26, it diverted 100% of global warranty waste from landfill, expanded circularity and responsible sourcing, and outlined new priorities on climate action, transparency and sustainability.
Grounded in its purpose to embolden explorers and preserve the planet they roam, the company’s continued sustainability progress includes:
- Facing a Changing Climate: Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approval of Canada Goose’s near-term and net zero greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, alongside a 50% reduction in market-based Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the FY19 baseline, driven by manufacturing facility electrification and renewable electricity.
- Designing for Generations: 100% of post-consumer global warranty waste diverted from landfill in FY26, up from 78% in FY20, while more than 19,000 products were recirculated through Canada Goose Generations, extending product life through resale and repair.
- Sourcing with Care: 91% of materials purchased for domestic manufacturing classified as Preferred Fibres and Materials (PFMs), up from 21% in FY21; 89% of fabrics bluesign ® approved, up from 45% in FY21; and 81% of Tier 1 suppliers participating in the company’s Social Compliance Program, up from 46% in FY20.
- Strengthening Data & Transparency: Product life cycle assessments completed across all global products manufactured in FY26, alongside primary data collection representing 65% primary data coverage for Scope 3 emissions from global transportation, strengthening greenhouse gas accounting and informing Canada Goose’s climate strategy.
- Stewarding Nature: Continued investment in long-term conservation initiatives, including CA$8 million donated to Polar Bears International since 2007.
As Canada Goose enters its next sustainability chapter, the company will focus on continuing to strengthen climate action, advance circularity, deepen supply chain transparency and use an increasingly robust understanding of its impacts to help guide future priorities across its business and value chain.
“Five years ago, we set our sights on building the foundation for how sustainability is embedded across our business. The next phase is about sharpening our focus,” said Carrie Baker, President, Brand and Commercial at Canada Goose. “We’ve made meaningful progress, from reducing operational emissions and advancing circularity to strengthening responsible sourcing, and now have a clearer understanding of where our efforts can make the greatest environmental and social impact. As we look ahead, that understanding will continue to shape how we operate, innovate and grow responsibly.”
The FY26 Impact Report and accompanying ESG Deep Dive provide additional detail on the progress highlighted above, along with the priorities that will guide Canada Goose’s next sustainability chapter across its six sustainability pillars.
