lululemon Launches FY24 Impact Report and Impact Agenda 2030

lululemon today released its fifth annual Impact Report, detailing the company’s FY24 progress across its social and environmental commitments. The report provides an update on key milestones and goals met over the past year, as well as areas of opportunity where there is more work to be done.

As part of the report, lululemon also introduced its Impact Agenda 2030, which is a renewed vision, approach, and set of goals that will guide the company’s next phase of its impact journey. This refreshed strategy is informed by the learnings gained since launching its first Impact Agenda in 2020, including insights from FY24.

“Our FY24 Impact Report results demonstrate the collective dedication and learnings of our teams across the organization and the power of collaboration in driving transformative change,” said Noel Kinder, Senior Vice President, Sustainability. “We are pleased with our progress over the past year, and as we launch our Impact Agenda 2030, we are focused on where we can make the most significant impact, recognizing the path forward will demand continued innovation, resilience, and deep partnership across the value chain.”

Impact progress and FY24 Report highlights

For the people and communities it serves, the company:

• Expanded its parenthood benefits around the world, including the introduction of new family-forming offerings, and maintained pay equity.^{11 When lululemon uses the term "pay equity," it means equal pay for equal work. Full pay equity includes gender and race. lululemon achieved gender pay equity globally in 2018 and full pay equity in the United States in 2020 and has continued to maintain it based on periodic analysis. The company’s analyses are point-in-time and may vary as workforce composition and roles evolve.}
• Continued to support its collective through its Inclusion Diversity, Equity, and Action (IDEA) initiatives and ongoing training and learning opportunities.
• Partnered with more than 160 social impact organizations and achieved its goal of reaching 10 million people^{22 Reaching over 10 million people" reflects the number of individuals who received services from the lululemon Centre for Social Impact (in 2025, the lululemon Centre for Social Impact became lululemon Gives) partners or actively participated in partners' programming between 2021 and 2024. The figure is based on data self-reported by partners and uses a conservative approach intended to minimize double counting. lululemon’s progress toward this goal includes worker wellbeing programs.}, providing access to wellbeing tools and resources through lululemon Gives (formerly known as the lululemon Centre for Social Impact).

For the planet, lululemon:

• Nearly doubled the percentage of products procured with at least 25% preferred materials^{33 lululemon considers materials to be preferred when their production processes have the potential to minimize impacts on areas like climate, nature, or communities, compared to the conventional equivalents, and/or when they align with independent third-party certifications, schemes, or standards. Where applicable, the company uses the Textile Exchange 2023 definition of preferred materials to guide the continued development of our framework for evaluating materials. lululemon regularly assesses the attributes for preferred materials and evolve its definition as needed.} by weight between 2020 and 2024 and achieved its recycled polyester target ahead of schedule.
• Continued to advance materials innovation through long-term partnerships including a 10-year offtake plan with Samsara Eco to support the scaling of enzymatic recycling of nylon 6,6 and polyester, and announced a multi-year collaboration with ZymoChem to help commercialize and scale plant-based inputs for nylon 6,6.
• Introduced a new target that, by 2030, 50% of electricity consumption among its core Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers will be sourced as renewable. In support of this transition, lululemon sponsors the Clean Energy Procurement Academy, an initiative of the Clean Energy Buyers Association, to support suppliers through renewable energy procurement training.^{44 Core suppliers are Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers representing over 75% of lululemon’s production volume. Data is reported through Cascale’s Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM). The majority of this supplier-reported data is verified by third parties accredited through the Higg FEM Verification Program.}

“It’s our people and partners who make our impact possible, and in FY24 we were proud to introduce new resources and offerings that support their growth and wellbeing,” said Stacia Jones, Vice President of IDEA, Employee Relations, and Employment Policy & Compliance. “As we look ahead, our values of inclusion and connection will continue to guide our journey as we learn, grow, and focus on creating positive change for our collective and the communities we serve."

Impact Agenda 2030

lululemon’s Impact Agenda 2030 strategy underscores the company’s commitment to continue advancing impact solutions that are integrated, scalable, and enduring. It reaffirms two critical pillars that continue to shape lululemon’s impact work: people and planet. Guided by these pillars, Impact Agenda 2030 focuses on six impact areas: wellbeing for employees, supply chain workers, and communities; and climate action, circular innovation, and nature.

The company’s evolved impact framework was informed by learnings over the past five years and reflects a deep assessment of where the company’s influence is most direct and where broader progress depends on industry-wide collaboration. This resulted in updated commitments that build on lululemon’s work to date and address emerging priorities ahead.

2030 commitments include:

For its people and the communities it serves:

• Maintain global gender pay equity and full pay equity in the United States.^{55 "Pay equity" refers to equal pay for equal work. Full pay equity includes gender and race. lululemon has achieved gender pay equity globally in 2018 and full pay equity in the United States in 2020 and have continued to maintain it based on our periodic analysis. Our analyses are point-in-time and may vary as workforce composition and roles evolve.}
• Achieve top quartile performance in employee inclusion and wellbeing.^{66 This will be measured using employee survey results. Top quartile performance will be measured via the results of a third-party retail industry benchmark.}
• Provide 200,000 participants with programs across supplier communities, to advance gender equity, financial resilience, and worker engagement.^{77 This goal will be measured based on the number of participants who receive services from grantees of lululemon Gives (formerly the lululemon Centre for Social Impact) or those who actively participate in grantees' programming. Participant numbers will be self-reported by grant recipients. "Participants" refers to workers in lululemon’s suppliers' facilities, the communities where they live, and broader communities connected to the apparel industry. Programs will be funded by lululemon Gives and may include strategic partnerships such as industry program pilots and research funding as well as vendor grants and participation in industry initiatives.}
• Provide 20 million participants with experiences to advance wellbeing, including mental health, movement, and mindfulness.^{88 This goal will be measured based on the number of participants who receive services from partners of lululemon Gives (formerly the lululemon Centre for Social Impact) or those who actively participate in partners' programming. Participant numbers will be self-reported by partners. Participants may be counted more than once if they take part in multiple initiatives over the years. Experiences may refer to programs, services, or resources from lululemon or third parties focused on wellbeing.}

For the planet:

• Maintain 60% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) from a 2018 baseline.^{99 The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated lululemon’s near-term science-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction target. "Own operations" refers to facilities where lululemon has direct operational control, including company-operated stores, distribution centres, and offices. The company initially achieved this goal in 2021 and have maintained it since. This goal is measured on a calendar-year basis.}
• Achieve 60% intensity reduction in GHG emissions in purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution (Scope 3) from a 2018 baseline.^{1010 The SBTi has validated lululemon’s near-term science-based Scope 3 emissions intensity reduction target. This goal is measured on a calendar-year basis.}
• Make 90% of products that contain at least 25% preferred materials by weight.^{1111 This excludes trims, which are estimated to be a small portion of the company’s overall portfolio. "By weight" refers to the weight of materials in lululemon products. Trims are minor components added to a product for functional or decorative reasons (e.g., buttons, zippers, snaps).}
• Offer guests in 90% of global markets opportunities to extend product use, including repair or resale.^{1212 This does not include outlets, pop-ups, airport stores, franchise markets, or markets with fewer than five stores, unless otherwise noted. As of 2024, resale is offered only in the United States.}

Delivering lasting, meaningful impact requires continued focus and deep collaboration across the industry. lululemon remains committed to advancing this important work and transparently sharing its progress along the way.
