This included Scope 1 emissions of about 1.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 93,000 kg CO2e. The vast majority, around 181.2 million kg CO2e, was attributed to Scope 3 emissions. Key Scope 3 categories reported for 2025 include business travel (about 1.3 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 8.8 million kg CO2e). For 2024, Patagonia's total global GHG emissions were approximately 178.4 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at about 1.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 117,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions constituted the largest portion, totalling about 177.0 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being a significant contributor at around 163.2 million kg CO2e. In 2023, Patagonia disclosed Scope 3 emissions of approximately 196.4 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services (around 182.5 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 13.3 million kg CO2e) being the most significant components.
