- Increased emissions in product transportation and distribution (81% increase in 2023 compared to 2022 due to reliance on air freight to compensate for delays).
- Increased manufacturing emissions (nearly 40% increase in 2023 compared to 2022), despite reductions in emissions per item created by some suppliers.
- Increased raw materials emissions (33.5% increase in 2023 compared to 2022).
Arc'teryx Equipment
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Arc'teryx Equipment disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 159.2K tCO2e/year. By scope: Scope 1: 1.5K tCO2e/year; Scope 2: 4.2K tCO2e/year; Scope 3: 157.8K tCO2e/year. Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- 100% of purchased electricity traced back to renewable sources through Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) in 2023.
- 93% of production occurs without on-site coal burning (as of end of 2023), with remaining suppliers on track to eliminate coal by 2025.
- 7,443 kg of waste diverted from landfill in 2023.
- Significant growth in repairs and trade-ins across various regions.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
- Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
- Phase-out on-site coal from Tier 1 and Tier 2 vendors by the end of 2025.
📅 Medium-term
- 99% of production volume to be captured in the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM).
- Increase the number of suppliers participating in energy efficiency audits or programs.
- 50% of all production to be powered by renewable energy by 2030.
🔭 Long-term
- Reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050 (90% absolute reduction of Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2022 base year).
