Printed catalogs are in the past

We printed our last catalog in the fall of 2017.
Sales representatives & dealers now have
access to a fully-featured digital platform.

Through the elimination of this paper we are saving annually: 82 trees, 2,222 gallons of oil and 13,600 gallons of water.

Monitoring Our Sustainability Progress

We use a standardized framework called the Higg Index which is an international
measurement tool for the apparel and footwear industry to assess environmental and social sustainability throughout the supply chain.

At PEARL iZUMi, we’ll take those measurements, compare them to industry benchmarks,
and build future-facing business strategies to improve our impacts and ultimately
become a more sustainable business.

A Carbon Neutral Headquarters by 2025

Our award winning building is already energy efficient,
but we’re continuing to reduce the energy we use to
run our business.

Our first goal is to cut our direct greenhouse gas emissions
30% by 2022. To meet our overall goal by 2025 we will produce
or generate 100% of our electricity from renewable
sources & purchase carbon offsets for natural gas use.

Partnership With A Purpose

We have partnered with the Renewal Workshop to repair
and resell PEARL iZUMi warranty returns, giving gently used
products a second life instead of adding to a landfill. It is
a zero waste system that recovers the full value out of
what has already been created as a way of serving
customers, partners and our planet.

Small Actions Have Big Impact

Effective January 2019 we are the first bike brand to
essentially “eliminate” hangtags. Critical information will
be found on one tag the size of a business card,
the smallest size that can be recycled.

Through the reduction of
this paper we are saving annually: 165 trees, 4,503 gallons of oil and
68,882 gallons of water.

A Second Life Better Than The First

Our products now ship in polybags made from 100%
recycled plastic, which can be recycled again.

We also reduced our overall material use by evaluating
and changing how our products are folded and packaged,
to use smaller polybags.

Creating Sustainable Clothing

Our ultimate goal is to outfit your adventures with sustainable clothing. We’ll continue to find, innovate and introduce sustainable performance fabrics like responsibly-sourced Merino wool and down, recycled polyester and nylon, sustainably-grown cotton, and more.

Our goal was to make 30% of our product line in 2020 from recycled, renewable or
organic materials, and to increase that to 90% by 2022. We over-achieved the 2020 goal, at over 40%, and are on track to achieve the 2022 goal.

Built to Last a Lifetime

The most sustainable product is one that you don’t need to replace.
Since 2008 we’ve run every fabric, zipper and
trim through our materials test lab to ensure that they’ll
last the life of the product.

Should a zipper or seam fail, many times we can repair it
in-house instead of replacing it.
