GORE-TEX's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, GORE-TEX reported total carbon emissions of approximately 334,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 20,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion (12,000,000 kg CO2e) and process emissions (3,000,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions accounted for around 40,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher at about 274,000,000 kg CO2e, with major contributions from purchased goods and services (217,000,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (40,000,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, GORE-TEX has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company acknowledges its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for climate action. As a leading player in the outdoor apparel industry, GORE-TEX's commitment to addressing climate change will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals.
