Active Reduction Work
Raw materials
We are aiming to eliminate all single use virgin plastics (polyester) from our products by 2024. We are 94% to goal but need to eliminate one case of single use plastic poly bags and one virgin polyester product line.
Supply chain energy use
We are aiming to assist our largest supplier - Unicorn - transition from non-renewable grid electricity to 100% renewable hydro electricity in 2022.
Raw materials
100% of product recycled, repurposed, or responsible (third party feature such as organic, responsibly sourced down, natural fiber).

Packaging
Transition to 100% eco-friendly packaging. Eliminate all single use plastic from packaging by Q1 of 2022.
03 Compensate
Climate change is one of the largest single drivers of extreme poverty. It is estimated that without climate action, environmental degradation will displace up to 1.5 billion people by 2050 and there will be an increase to 3.5 million experiencing severe food and water insecurity (IEP, 2020). Taking this foundational contributor to extreme poverty into account, Cotopaxi has continuously worked on reducing its environmental impacts. Since our founding, Cotopaxi has piloted new ways of building friendly and functional products designed using sustainable principles and materials. This year we went past aligning with science-based targets and officially became carbon neutral through undertaking the Climate Neutral certification.
