As innovators in performance apparel for more than 50 years, continuous improvement is a part of our development.
Our goal is to help protect people in the outdoors – which starts with creating durable, high-performing products and continuously improving how we make them. Across Gore’s Fabrics business, teams focus on carbon emissions, chemicals management, human rights and circularity. The Fabrics Responsibility Update showcases their approach, actions and reported progress.
As an ingredient brand and collaborator, we strive to lead by example to drive industry change.
Performance. Durability. Innovation. These principles have guided us from the beginning. We test our products to demanding performance standards, and select products utilize recognized third-party standards and certifications, including the Global Recycled Standard, bluesign® SYSTEM, and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
