Dani Reiss, president and CEO of Canada Goose, said in the news release that the company’s focus is on making products that provide, “exceptional quality, protection from the elements, and perform the way consumers need them to.”

In 2019, Canada Goose committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions, as well as reduce emissions by more than 80 per cent from current levels by 2025.
