Climate action
We are committed to the Paris Agreement and the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This means reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science and taking responsibility for our value chain impact.
In January 2025, our near-term, long-term and net-zero targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These targets guide our journey toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Our science-based targets
Near-term targets (to be achieved by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year):
- Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 60%.
- Reduce absolute scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution by 25%.
Long-term and net-zero targets (to be achieved by 2050, using 2022 as the baseline year):
- Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90%.
- Reduce absolute scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90%.
- Achieve net-zero emissions across the entire value chain.
How we are taking action
We’re working to decarbonize both our own operations and the wider value chain. While Scope 1 and 2 emissions (from sources we own or control) make up a relatively small share of our total footprint, they’re an essential part of our action plan because we have direct control over them. These emissions mostly come from the energy used in our factories, stores, offices, and distribution centers.
However, the vast majority of our emissions fall under Scope 3 — from the goods and materials we purchase, the services we use, and the transportation and distribution of our products. These upstream and downstream impacts are where we must collaborate closely with our suppliers and logistics partners to drive meaningful progress.
Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be divided into Scopes 1, 2 and 3
Direct emissions caused by use of fuels or refrigerant loss in own operations.
Emissions from production of energy purchased and consumed in own operations: electricity, heating, and cooling.
Indirect upstream and downstream emissions caused in the value chain. The main sources of emissions are from purchased goods and services, and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution.
The Climate Program
Launched in 2024, the Climate Program is Amer Sports’ structured, Group-wide initiative to drive decarbonization across our own operations and throughout the supply chain. It brings together our brands and functions to take coordinated, measurable action toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The program supports our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It provides a common framework to align climate efforts across the organization and ensures that all teams are equipped with the tools, data, and governance needed to accelerate progress.
Decarbonizing our operations
We are reducing emissions across our own operations by improving energy efficiency and switching to renewable energy. In 2023, 34% of the electricity used in our facilities — including factories, warehouses, offices, and stores — came from renewable sources. In 2024, that figure rose to 51%. Our target is to reach 100% renewable electricity by 2027.
Our site in Altenmarkt, Austria, which also serves as Atomic’s headquarters, is certified for its environmental management system (EMS) in accordance with ISO 14001. Altenmarkt is home to employees working across various brands, Amer Sports winter sports operations, and the supply chain. Since 2005, it has been heated using a biomass plant located next to the facility, and since 2014, it has been powered entirely by renewable electricity. Energy efficiency upgrades include LED lighting, heat recovery systems, and improved material recovery.
In Annecy, France, Salomon’s headquarters — the Annecy Design Center — is certified under both ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 50001 (energy management). Since 2021, it has run on 100% renewable electricity, with remaining emissions compensated.
Carbon footprint in 2024
We respond to the annual CDP Corporate Questionnaire to disclose our environmental impact. In 2024, we achieved the Leadership Level and an A- rating for climate. Based on the disclosed data, we demonstrated leadership in transparency and best practices in climate action, with particular strengths in value chain engagements, Scope 3 emissions, emissions reduction initiatives and low-carbon products, as well as climate risk, impact, and opportunity processes and disclosures.
Measuring supply chain impact with Higg Index Tools
As a member Cascale, our apparel and footwear brands measure supply chain emissions using the Higg Index Tools. This helps us better understand the environmental impact of our value chain and work closely with suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions. We plan to expand the use of these tools to all our brands.
Our brands are driving climate action
Arc’teryx reports annually on its progress towards these targets in the Arc’teryx Climate Report. Since 2020, Arc’teryx has been purchasing electricity produced with 100% renewable energy for all its own operations, including all retail stores.

Salomon has committed to the French initiative FRET21 for the decarbonization of its logistics. Through this, Salomon committed to reducing its French transportation emissions by 15% by 2022. Salomon is a member of the Snowsports Industry Association’s (SIA) Climate United coalition, and has signed SIA’s Climate Pledge.
In 2021, Salomon unveiled a set of ambitious sports marketing commitments for more responsible events and athletes. Through this, Salomon committed to measuring, reducing (by 30%), and offsetting the carbon travel emissions of its international athletes by 2025.

Peak Performance’s goals include reducing its climate impact in Scope 1 and 2 by 50% by 2030 and having net zero emissions by 2050. The brand aims to reduce its Scope 3 emissions in line with the Well below 2-degree target and have its Science-Based Targets (SBTs) validated by 2024. Additionally, Peak Performance strives to become a fully circular business by 2030.
