Canada Goose Inc.<\/a>\u2019s five-year sustainability strategy has ended with a foundation for future efforts and a better understanding of next steps, the apparel company said about its FY 2026 impact report<\/a>.<\/p>\n Released Monday morning, it summarizes Canada Goose\u2019s efforts from 2020 to 2025 to reduce the carbon emissions from its manufacturing, promote circularity and understand its operations and supply chain from a sustainability standpoint.<\/p>\n The Toronto-based company, known for its jackets and winter attire, highlighted how it halved the combined carbon emissions from its owned sources (Scope 1) and energy (Scope 2) from a FY 2019 baseline and raised its use of sustainably sourced materials from FY 2021.<\/p>\n The five-year strategy helped Canada Goose \u201cbuild our systems, identify where a lot of those data gaps were, build out partnerships that would help us achieve our ambitions,\u201d Jeff Fitzpatrick, its head of sustainability, said on a virtual call last Thursday previewing the impact report.<\/p>\n Canada Goose aims to bolster its data management for upcoming environmental efforts, Fitzpatrick said. Good sustainability ambitions, he explained, should be \u201cbacked up by reliable information . . . clear ownership within the organization . . . and then there has to be a workable path to achieving those ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n Halving operational carbon from 2019<\/p>\n A key accomplishment nestled in Canada Goose\u2019s report was a 50 per cent cut to its Scope 1 and 2 emissions.<\/p>\n This was largely achieved by replacing the natural gas-powered equipment in its Ontario and Manitoba manufacturing sites with electric heat pumps. Another action was installing a heat capture system in one of its facilities, slashing the building\u2019s Scope 1 emissions by 60 per cent.<\/p>\n Canada Goose anticipates more reductions to its operating emissions from further decarbonization steps in its facilities. Canada Goose is hoping to reach a reduction of 80 per cent or higher, Fitzpatrick said.<\/p>\n From 2021, Canada Goose raised its use of preferred fibres and materials from 21 per cent to 91 per cent and bluesign-approved fibres from 45 per cent to 89 per cent.<\/p>\n So less of its products end up in landfill, Canada Goose has maintained its partnership with Debrand, a reverse logistics and circularity business based in Surrey, B.C. Since 2020, over 40 tonnes of Canada Goose products have been diverted from landfill, with some donated.<\/p>\n Data is central to Canada Goose<\/p>\n Throughout the call, Fitzpatrick stressed the importance of clear data to Canada Goose. Being armed with such information \u201callows us to make informed decisions,\u201d he said. To achieve this, Canada Goose has worked to make its measurements more detailed, moving away from broad assumptions and toward improved product- and supplier-level insight.<\/p>\n For example, Canada Goose completed life-cycle assessments for all of its global products in FY 2026 using a greenhouse gas inventory tool made by Carbonfact<\/a>. The tool can be used to understand how material sourcing would affect the life cycle of a product, Fitzpatrick said.<\/p>\n
