Our Planet

• Make 100% of our products with preferred materials¹ and end-of-use solutions by 2030
• Achieve 75% preferred materials¹ for our products by 2025

¹Prior to 2023, we adhered to the Textile Exchange’s definition of preferred materials. In 2023, Textile Exchange updated their definition, to which we are working to align our internal impact validation framework for materials. To count toward this goal, products must contain at least 25 percent preferred materials by weight.

• Meet our science-based² climate targets by achieving:
  • 60% absolute reduction³ of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in all owned and operated facilities⁴ (Scope 1 and 2)⁵ by 2030 from a 2018 base year
  • 60% intensity reduction⁶ in GHGs in purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution (Scope 3)⁷ by 2030 from a 2018 base year
  • Net-zero emissions⁸ by 2050
• Source 100% renewable electricity to power our owned and operated facilities by 2021⁹
• Achieve 25% renewable electricity among core suppliers¹⁰ by 2025, and 50% renewable electricity among core suppliers by 2030

² These targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which develops standards, tools, and guidance that allow companies to set GHG emissions reductions targets. Our climate data is reported on a calendar year basis.

³ Reduction in the total amount of GHG emissions emitted into the atmosphere over a specific period.

⁴ Facilities where lululemon has direct operational control: stores, distribution centres, and offices. These do not include manufacturing or transportation and logistics along our value chain, which are included in our Scope 3 target.

⁵ Scope 1 Emissions: Direct emissions from owned and operated facilities. Scope 2 Emissions: Indirect emissions from the generation of energy purchased for use at owned and operated facilities. Our climate data contains both market-based and location-based emissions. Our goals use market-based emissions.

⁶ The amount of GHG emissions per unit of activity, output, or any other organization-specific metric. We measure emissions intensity as tCO2e per US $ million of gross profit from operations.

⁷ Indirect upstream and downstream emissions across our value chain. Our Scope 3 target includes Category 1 (with the exclusion of "other purchased goods and services," which relate to non-product spend) and Category 4 emissions, as defined by the GHG Protocol. This exceeds the SBTi requirement of including at least two-thirds Scope 3 emissions.

⁸ As stated on SBTi’s website, their Corporate Net-Zero Standard is a framework for corporate net-zero target setting in line with climate science. According to SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard (version 1.2), companies must cut emissions by more than 90% and use permanent carbon removal and storage to counterbalance the final 10% or more of residual emissions that cannot be eliminated. Our net-zero target is to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2018 base year.

⁹ In 2022 and 2023 we procured 100% renewable electricity to power our owned and operated facilities, with 98% sourced in compliance with the RE100 technical criteria. Renewable electricity is procured from a wind Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (vPPA) in North America, Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) purchased from accredited tracking agencies (where operationally feasible, from wind and solar energy sources), electricity from renewable utility providers for some international locations, and onsite solar at one of our Canadian Distribution Centres.

¹⁰ Core Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers represent over 75% of our production volume.

• Reduce freshwater use intensity with our priority wet process suppliers¹¹ by 20% by 2025
• Implement Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) at 100% of priority suppliers¹² by 2022

¹¹ Produced approximately 80 percent of production value in 2021 and included supplier facilities with production in a water scarce region. Wet processing is defined as any water-intense process, such as dyeing and finishing of materials.

¹² A subset of wet processing supplier facilities that produced approximately 80 percent of production value in 2021. Data from these supplier facilities is used for our chemistry goal.
