Stand.earth accuses B.C. company of breaking promise to reduce greenhouse gases
Canada's Competition Bureau has opened a formal investigation into Lululemon's environmental claims in its marketing campaigns, a spokesperson for the agency told CBC News on Monday.
Marianne Blondin confirmed in an email that the Competition Bureau "has commenced an investigation under the Competition Act into the alleged deceptive marketing practices."
"There is no conclusion of wrongdoing at this time," she wrote. "As the Bureau is obligated by law to conduct its work confidentially, I cannot provide further details on this case at this time."
Stand.earth, the non-profit that filed the complaint against the B.C. athleisure giant accusing it of greenwashing, had announced the investigation earlier on Monday.
The complaint, which the non-profit said was filed in February, says Lululemon's Be Planet sustainability campaign from 2020 — in which the company said it would work to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions — is contradicted by a 2022 impact report that outlined Lululemon's progress in reaching its climate goals.
The impact report shows the company's Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions — indirect emissions that occur as a result of a company's activities, including those produced by customers using its products— increased from about 471,100 tonnes in 2020 to 847,400 tonnes in 2022.

Besides... Doesn't this young ladies lack of farting make up for it???

It’s going to take a whole lot of exercise and self discipline to turn #1 into #2 ...

Isn’t this one of the companies where they found cancer causing PFA’s in products?
“ PFAS have been found in a wide variety of garments such as rain jackets, hiking pants, shirts and yoga pants and sports bras made by popular brands like Lululemon. Forever chemicals are used as surface treatments to block water and stains. “
Look hard enough, with detection technology down to the nano-level, and you will find "Forever" chemicals everywhere.
It is not evidence of danger. Every person shares some water molecules which once were in the body of Napolean,Ghengis Khan, Einstein, Edison, and Thomas Jefferson.
It is simply a matter of statistics. Atmospheric mixing and the fact a kilogram of chemicals, spread over the earth, means everything gets a few molecules.
It is a scare tactic.
Life = Risk.
Whatever happened to freedom?
Single women don't want freedom. They want big daddy government to care for them, without any responsibilities.
Freedom & Responsibility are linked.
Leftist, generally, hate responsibility, even the idea of individual responsibility, with a passion.
To them, freedom means being free from responsibility.
Freedom of Choice, is what you’ve got
Freedom from Choice, is what you want
