Published an annual impact report

In 2025, the brand published its first comprehensive annual impact report, which provided data and stories about its challenges and successes in reducing its environmental impact. In the report, Patagonia disclosed its baseline emissions and data from the previous two years, showing that it has yet to make progress toward its absolute emissions reduction goals.

Used recycled and preferred materials

In 2025, Patagonia reported that almost two-thirds of its down, a quarter of its cotton, and over 80% of its wool were made from recycled content. It also reported using 84% preferred materials, described as fibers that have a smaller environmental impact than their conventional alternatives.
