Under Armour Sustainability Commitments
2030
Use 100% renewable electricity
Under Armour has committed to source 100% renewable electricity in its owned and operated facilities by 2030. It also set an interim target of 80% by 2025. Renewable electricity means power from sources like wind or solar instead of fossil fuels. The company linked this goal to RE100, a global business group focused on renewable power use.
2030
Cut emissions by 30%
Under Armour has a target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. This covers direct emissions, purchased energy, and other indirect emissions across its value chain. The target was described as science-based and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, which checks whether company targets match climate science.
2050
Reach net zero emissions
Under Armour said it aims to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or offsets, depending on the company’s approach. The brand linked this pledge to the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign, which is tied to global climate action efforts.
2030
Use only recycled polyester
The Commons Earth says Under Armour has a plan to use only recycled polyester by 2030. Polyester is a common synthetic fabric, and recycled polyester is made from existing plastic instead of new fossil-based material. This commitment points to a shift in materials, although the same source says the brand appears to be off track on progress.
