lululemon has released its FY25 Impact Report, offering a scorecard on the company’s people and planet commitments during the first full year of its Impact Agenda 2030. The update lands as sportswear brands face greater scrutiny over supply chains, material choices and the life of products after purchase.

Repair reaches more markets

lululemon said repair or resale options were available in 65% of its global markets and that more than 69,000 products were repaired during FY25. Those figures make repair a practical part of the brand’s retail model rather than a side program.

For footwear and apparel shoppers, repair services can extend the useful life of technical pieces that are often expensive to replace. The challenge for the sector is scale. Resale and repair need to reach more regions and product categories before they become a meaningful alternative to replacement buying.

Supplier targets gain ground

The company reported that more than 102,000 workers took part in wellbeing programs between 2021 and 2025. It also said core Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers achieved 33% renewable electricity, above its 25% target.

These results matter because product innovation is increasingly judged alongside the conditions and energy systems behind it. Brands can no longer frame lower impact materials or repair offers as isolated initiatives. Investors, athletes and consumers are looking for evidence across the full value chain.

What remains unfinished

lululemon acknowledged that work remains on supply chain emissions and preferred materials adoption. That caveat is important. Progress reports are useful when they show both advances and the areas where targets are still difficult to meet.

For activewear fans, the report offers a clearer view of how a major performance brand is approaching durability, access and production. The next test is whether these programs become easier to use in the markets where its community actually trains, travels and shops.
