Aritzia Logo
Aritzia was one of the worst performing companies in the 2025 Scorecard. It is yet to set any Scope 1 – 3 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The company has not yet set a pathway towards net zero, nor a transition away from coal across its supply chain.

Total Score

F

Manufacturing Emissions Change

2023 Score

None

Aritzia must urgently work to remedy this and include a supply chain renewable energy target within its transition plan and move away from low impact sources when procuring renewable energy for its own operations.

When it comes to training and supporting suppliers on feasibility studies and developing transition plans, there is an absence of evidence. The company provides no clear examples of the financial support offered to manufacturers to decarbonize, nor examples of clean energy advocacy over the last 2 years. Aritzia must improve its disclosure across tenets of environmental data, including sharing Scope 3 Category 4 emissions. Addressing its upstream transportation through signatory status to the Arctic Shipping Corporate Pledge is not enough.

To improve its score, Artizia has to drastically improve its commitments, disclosure and investment on decarbonization efforts.
