No two businesses affect the world in the same way. What a brand makes, how it is made, where it is sold and how it reaches you all change where its real impact sits. For a fashion label, most of it is in the fabric and the factories. For a brewery, it is water and energy.
So we start there. We build a picture of how this business actually operates, work out which sustainability issues genuinely matter for a business like it, and weight each one by how much it counts.
Then we check what the brand itself has published, issue by issue. The figure is the share of those weighted priorities it has addressed in public.
Only a brand’s own words count, so every brand is held to the same test. Where an issue shows as not found, it means we could not find it published. It does not mean the brand is not doing the work.
Our technology uses proprietary intelligence and AI to identify which impact areas are a priority for this business type, and how many have been addressed publicly. Not yet brand verified, there may be errors. Provide feedback

BETTER ATHLETES IN A BETTER WORLD
Under Armour’s sustainability picture is limited in the material provided. The clearest third-party signal is customer feedback, which is mostly about service problems rather than environmental or labour issues. Trustpilot ratings are very low, suggesting weak public satisfaction overall. No independent sustainability report, certification, or formal ESG rating was found in the supplied content. Because of that, there is not enough evidence here to say the brand has a strong or weak sustainability record on the basis of verified ESG data alone. Consumers looking for a fuller picture would need to check whether Under Armour has published more detailed environmental, labour, and supply chain information elsewhere. Common Criticisms: Public sentiment in the supplied material is mostly negative, but it is focused on customer service rather than sustainability. Trustpilot shows a 1.5 out of 5 score based on 1,416 reviews for underarmour.com, and another Trustpilot listing for underarmour.eu also shows 1.5 out of 5 from 100 reviews. Review snippets mention delayed refunds and poor return handling. There is no independent third-party evidence here of strong sustainability performance, and no verified ESG certification or rating is shown in the material. That means the public record in this set is thin on sustainability and heavy on complaints about service.

Under Armour Sustainability Commitments
2030
Use 100% renewable electricity
Under Armour has committed to source 100% renewable electricity in its owned and operated facilities by 2030. It also set an interim target of 80% by 2025. Renewable electricity means power from sources like wind or solar instead of fossil fuels. The company linked this goal to RE100, a global business group focused on renewable power use.
2030
Cut emissions by 30%
Under Armour has a target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. This covers direct emissions, purchased energy, and other indirect emissions across its value chain. The target was described as science-based and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, which checks whether company targets match climate science.
2050
Reach net zero emissions
Under Armour said it aims to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or offsets, depending on the company’s approach. The brand linked this pledge to the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign, which is tied to global climate action efforts.
