Gymshark sustainability score: 25/100

Gymshark calculates Scope 1 and 2 emissions using GHG Protocol methodology but does not publish figures. With ~841 employees, £556M revenue, and a global operation, estimated footprint likely 5,000–50,000 tonnes CO₂e. No public data found by any third-party rater as of July 2025.

Gymshark uses Higg FEM for internal supply chain measurement and has SBTi-validated Scope 3 target (54% per-unit-sold reduction by FY2030), but publishes no Scope 3 tonnage figures. Good On You and The Commons confirm no evidence of public supply chain emissions reporting or verified supplier engagement on GHG reduction.

Zero absolute emissions disclosed for any year since 2022. No baseline, no current-year figure, no trajectory established. Business grew 15% (FY2022–FY2023); absent emissions reductions, absolute footprint presumed rising. Good On You (2025) finds no evidence Gymshark is on track to SBTi targets.

No renewable energy percentage disclosed, no RE100 membership, no PPAs published. GSIQ building holds BREEAM 'Very Good' (energy and water covered), but no renewable energy strategy for operations disclosed. The Commons confirms Gymshark 'shares limited information on energy and water strategies.'

No TNFD disclosure, no biodiversity policy, no deforestation commitment. ZDHC 'friend' status (not signatory) signals partial chemical hazard engagement. Synthetic-fibre-dominant (nylon, polyester, elastane) with some cotton. Uses dope dyeing and targets 100% recycled polyester by 2025, but no nature impact assessment or formal risk policy found.

Veolia partnership diverts all UK campus waste (three sites) from landfill with full recycling. Removed single-use plastics. Packaging uses recycled plastic and FSC-certified paper. Thrift+ take-back since February 2022. Committed to 100% recycled polyester by 2025. The Commons found no recent progress reporting on materials goals.

Gymshark committed to 30% water footprint reduction by 2030 (per product, 2019 baseline) and uses dope dyeing for water savings. ZDHC 'friend' status indicates some chemical hazard work. No supply chain water targets, no volumes disclosed, no independent verification. Good On You (2025) confirms no evidence of supply chain water management.

SBTi-validated near-term targets: 40% absolute Scope 1/2 reduction and 54% per-unit-sold Scope 3 reduction by FY2030 from FY2021 baseline. Scope 3 target is intensity-based (per unit), problematic given revenue growth. No net-zero pathway identified. Good On You finds no evidence of progress reporting or on-track delivery.

Sustainability website published with structured content, factory list (Tier 1 and 2-3), Code of Conduct, Modern Slavery Statement (FY23-24). No annual sustainability report, no emissions disclosure, no progress against SBTi targets reported. No board governance structure, TCFD, or executive pay linkage to sustainability found.

No regulatory actions or FTC rulings. Good On You rates 'Not Good Enough' (November 2025); The Commons rates 'Insufficient' (July 2025). Credible industry criticism centres on Higg Index use and potential greenwashing; non-disclosure of emissions despite public commitments remains unresolved.
