  • This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Canada's competition bureau is opening a formal investigation into Lululemon's environmental practices, according to a non-profit group that filed against the B.C.

    The company also wrote in 2020 that it "leaned into investments and partnerships to develop sustainable materials that demonstrate our leadership in product innovation and environmental harm reduction."

    But the report from Stand.earth notes that many of the company's products continue to be made with polyester or nylon, both of which are materials manufactured from fossil fuels.

    "Lululemon's customers around the world need to know the real impacts of their climate pollution, not the greenwashed version they sell their products with," Todd Paglia, executive director at Stand.earth, said in the company's statement.

    A spokesperson for Lululemon previously told CBC News the company is focused on helping create an industry that is "more sustainable and addresses the serious impacts of climate change."

    The company is committed to its decarbonization plan, the spokesperson added, with the aim of meeting its 2030 climate targets and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
