The trend indicates a growing footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest contributor for companies in the apparel and footwear industry. Despite the increase in emissions, On Running has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. Headquartered in Switzerland (CH), On Running's climate commitments and emissions data reflect the broader challenges faced by the industry in addressing climate change and reducing overall carbon emissions.
