The amount of water withdrawal it is not reported in either the 2021 Columbia Sportswear Annual Report or the “2021 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, & GOVERNANCE REPORT." But, on page 27 of the source (i.e., 2021 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, & GOVERNANCE REPORT) it analyses Columbia’s Sportswear carbon leadership project. In this project, Columbia Sportswear collaborated with its Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners to reduce emissions and water wastage.

 

Columbia Sportswear implemented a “Clean by Design Footwear Pilot” project in Vietnam with its Tier 1 suppliers (i.e., these are direct suppliers of the final product) which resulted in an estimated water reduction of over 38,000 m3.
