Patagonia's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Patagonia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 199,357,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 196,057,000 kg CO2e, with the largest sources being purchased goods and services (approximately 182,523,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (about 13,309,000 kg CO2e). The company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 2,963,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2020, Patagonia's total emissions were about 224,565,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 219,379,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions of about 25,208,000 kg CO2e from 2020 to 2023. Patagonia has not publicly disclosed specific science-based targets (SBTi) or reduction initiatives, nor does it appear to have set formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to measurable climate action. Overall, while Patagonia has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, the company may benefit from establishing clearer reduction goals to enhance its climate commitments.
