This year we achieved the highest Governance score across all companies and improved our Carbon rating from B- to A, driven by reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions. ESG continues to be a foundation of our Next Level strategy and across each of our brands – Kathmandu, Rip Curl and Oboz Footwear. Explore the full report, methodology and scorecards below.
