IDEA is a critical function that helps us create an environment that is equitable, inclusive, and fosters growth.​

It also supports the development of innovative solutions, products, and experiences.​

A Message from our Chief People & Culture Officer, Susan Gelinas​

At lululemon, we are on an ongoing journey to drive meaningful, lasting change in the world and promote wellbeing across our communities. As part of our Impact Agenda, we are accelerating programs to become a more inclusive and diverse company.

I am proud of our continued evolution through IDEA, focusing on making changes grounded in our values. Open conversation, active listening, and continuous learning are integral to this journey. They support our commitment to engaging with the broader community to understand opportunities for evolving behaviors, commitments, and actions—both within our organization and across our collective.​

Our people are the heart and soul of this company, driving us forward every day—we intend for IDEA to be integrated through all we do. We are proud of the progress we are making, are committed to the journey ahead, and are a stronger because of the culture we continue to build together.​

Spotlight On: Inclusive and Equitable Design​

The Inclusive and Equitable Design Certification Program serves as a tool for educating and engaging our internal collective in helping them make inclusive and equitable decisions across our entire business. In this certification program, design goes beyond our products and becomes a powerful means to communicate and apply IDEA concepts in support of our guests, employees and communities we serve. Design is a catalyst for inclusion and ensuring that everyone sees themselves reflected and valued in the programs, products, and systems that shape our world.​

Inclusion For All
