Ralph Lauren Reports 34% Emission Cut 2025 Sustainability Progress

Ralph Lauren Corporation's 2025 Global Citizenship & Sustainability Report highlights significant progress under its "Timeless by Design" strategy, emphasizing sustainability across its products and operations. The company reported that 98% of its products met sustainable material criteria, and it achieved a 34% reduction in emissions from its 2020 baseline, surpassing its 2030 target five years early. Initiatives include launching a denim recycling program, piloting repair services, expanding vintage offerings, and opening its third cancer center in the U.S. Ralph Lauren plans to retire its 2040 net-zero goal in favor of setting rolling five-year greenhouse gas reduction milestones, focusing near-term on its 2030 science-based target. This strategic shift reflects the need for broader ecosystem collaboration to address systemic challenges in the apparel sector and ensure impactful decarbonization. The company’s efforts also extend to supporting communities and incorporating inclusivity and circular principles into design, reinforcing its commitment to long-term sustainable growth and value creation.
