Why It Matters

A strong supply chain built on safe and healthy working conditions is key to a resilient and successful apparel industry. We are committed to advancing fair labor practices and supporting the wellbeing11 We define wellbeing as a lifetime practice of three interconnected elements—physical, social, and mental wellbeing.

What We're Doing

As we do not own any manufacturing facilities, we strive to work with suppliers that share our values and collaborate with us to uphold ethical standards, address systemic challenges, and support the wellbeing of workers in the supply chain. Our approach is grounded in our Responsible Supply Chain (RSC) program and strengthened by engagement with suppliers, industry and cross-industry partners, civil society, and others who share our values. Our Vendor Code of Ethics (VCoE) outlines our commitment to respect human and labor rights and promote safe and fair working conditions for people in our supply chain. It sets the minimum standards for suppliers.

  • Support 200,000 participants across supplier communities with access to projects to advance gender equity, financial resilience, and worker engagement33 This goal is cumulative (2026-2030) and will be measured based on the number of participants who actively engage with a supply chain wellbeing project enabled by lululemon. Participant numbers will be self-reported. Participants may be counted more than once if they take part in multiple initiatives over the years. "Participants" refers to workers in our suppliers' facilities, the communities where they live, and broader communities connected to the apparel industry. "Projects" may include strategic partnerships such as industry program pilots, research funding, vendor partnership programs, and participation in industry initiatives.
