Luxury outerwear brand Moose Knuckles Canada has committed to ending all production with natural fur by the end of 2022. The company has released its sustainability strategy to focus on battling climate change, making and moving product sustainably, circular business models, enhancing biodiversity, people and communities and living and working sustainably.

The company aims to mitigate all carbon emissions by the end of 2025; eliminate conventional cotton, virgin polyester and virgin nylon in its garments by the end of 2025; ensure its products qualify for take-back, re-commerce, and recycling programmes by the end of 2025; setting science-based targets for the health of water, land, oceans and wildlife; prioritising the global challenges of diversity and inclusion; and developing all Moose Knuckles' real estate investments to meet LEED silver standards, the company said in a press release.

"Our number one objective has always been about creating exceptional, handcrafted products that provide unmatched warmth without sacrificing style," said co-CEO Noah Stern. "The steps we are announcing today are very much a reflection of the voices of the communities we engage with and our team's commitment to play a key role in creating a more sustainable mother earth."

The company is a member of the Textile Exchange, a sustainability-focused, non-profit organisation and a participant in the Corporate Fibre & Materials Benchmarking programme of the Textile Exchange. It is also a signatory to the 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge, the 2025 Recycled Polyester Challenge and the UN Global Compact pledge.
