Macpac Sustainability Profile

SUSTAINABILITY BEGINS WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT LAST

Macpac is an outdoor gear and clothing brand that sits inside VF Corporation, a large global apparel company. The third-party material available here points to a mixed sustainability picture. On the positive side, VF scores well on several independent benchmarks for transparency, climate disclosure, human rights, and supply chain reporting. It is also fully aligned with the Apparel and Footwear Supply Chain Transparency Pledge, which means it commits to publishing factory lists. On the brand’s own site, Macpac also promotes repair and care guides for gear, which can help products last longer. However, the available evidence is mostly about the parent company, not Macpac itself, and there is little direct public detail on Macpac’s own targets, reports, or product-level sustainability data.

Positive Sentiment Found
Independent ratings for VF Corporation, Macpac’s parent company, are mostly positive on transparency and ESG management. The company scored 66/100 in the Fashion Transparency Index, which means it shares a relatively high level of information about suppliers, policies, and future goals. It also received a low ESG risk rating of 14.4 from Sustainalytics, which classifies it as low risk, and a B score from CDP on climate change, showing it reports on emissions and climate management. Other third-party benchmarks also place it above average on human rights, social performance, and supply chain disclosure. These are all signs that the wider company is being watched closely and is performing better than many peers on published ESG data.
