Canada Goose to stop using fur

Canada Goose has announced that it will stop using fur in its products by the end of the year and will aim to cease manufacturing with fur by 2022.

The news falls in line with the retailer’s sustainability commitments, having already announced its aim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions and reduce emissions by more than 80% from current levels by 2025.

Earlier this year, the retailer launched its most sustainable parka to date, The Standard Parka, followed by the introduction of a new category of lightweight down jackets, the Cypress and Crofton.

Dani Reiss, president and CEO, Canada Goose, said: “Our focus has always been on making products that deliver exceptional quality, protection from the elements, and perform the way consumers need them to; this decision transforms how we will continue to do just that.

“We continue to expand – across geographies and climates – launching new categories and products designed with intention, purpose and functionality. At the same time, we are accelerating the sustainable evolution of our designs.”
