Sorel Sustainability Commitments
2030
Cut manufacturing emissions
Sorel said it committed to a 30% reduction in manufacturing emissions by 2030. The brand linked this target to its climate work and said it had already seen lower overall emissions in 2020. This is a future target, so it belongs in commitments rather than past actions.
2022
Use all LWG suppliers
Sorel said it was committed to working with 100% Leather Working Group certified suppliers for its Spring 2022 collection. LWG certification is a leather-industry standard that focuses on environmental performance. The statement gives a clear year target, so it counts as a commitment.
2027
Parent company labor target
Columbia Sportswear Company, which owns Sorel, said all employees should complete general human rights training by 2027. It also set a target for all sites to co-manage cultural heritage with communities and knowledge holders by 2027, and for 70% of social investment to go through strategic partnerships by 2027. These are group-level future goals that affect Sorel’s wider sustainability picture.
2026
Increase Indigenous leaders
Columbia Sportswear Company set a target of having 100 Indigenous leaders in Australia by 2026. This is a social and workplace commitment tied to representation and leadership. It is a future year-based goal, so it fits the commitments section.
