lululemon Releases FY24 Impact Report and Launches Impact Agenda 2030

Lululemon has officially released its fifth annual Impact Report, offering a comprehensive overview of the company’s FY24 progress across its social and environmental commitments. The report outlines key milestones achieved over the past year, highlights areas where incremental progress is underway, and sets the stage for the company’s next chapter of impact work.

In tandem with the report, Lululemon also introduced its Impact Agenda 2030, a renewed, future-focused strategy designed to guide the brand’s sustainability and social responsibility efforts throughout the decade ahead. This refreshed approach builds on learnings from the original Impact Agenda launched in 2020, incorporating insights gathered throughout FY24.

A Year of Progress, Partnership, and Organizational Learning

Reflecting on the company’s impact journey, Noel Kinder, Senior Vice President of Sustainability, underscored the importance of collaboration and continuous improvement:

“Our FY24 Impact Report demonstrates the dedication of our teams and the power of collaboration in driving transformative change. As we launch Impact Agenda 2030, we are focused on the areas where we can make the most significant difference, recognizing that the path forward requires innovation, resilience, and deep partnership across the value chain.”

Lululemon’s FY24 progress is organized around two foundational pillars, people and planet, both of which anchor the company’s long-term commitments.
