Fenix Outdoor's footprint was 112,884 tCO2e in 2025, up from 81,341 tCO2e in 2024, partly because Devold was added; it is level with 2019. It says it reaches 100% renewable electricity, 72% through renewable contracts and the rest through certificates. Its targets are self-set, with no SBTi validation: a 50% absolute cut by 2030 and 90% by 2050 from 2025, after missing its earlier supply-chain target. It cancelled 18,990 t of carbon credits in 2025, mostly avoidance credits. It runs repair and resale at scale: 48,474 products were repaired or cared for at its shops. Its data are not externally verified.
