Athletic apparel retailer Lululemon has released its first-ever ‘Impact Agenda’ setting out the company’s long-term strategy to minimise its social and environmental impact.
Included among its 12 goals is a commitment to make 100% of its products with sustainable materials and end-of-use solutions by 2030.
It also plans to invest US$75m into equitable wellbeing programmes globally by 2025, and expand gender pay equity to full pay equity for its employees.
“We share our Impact strategy against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, a global climate crisis, and systemic inequities in our society,” says Calvin McDonald, chief executive officer. “As a global brand, industry, and as individuals, we must play a part to change the world for the better.”
The three key areas of focus are ‘Be Human,’ ‘Be Well’ and ‘Be Planet.’
