Trek Bicycle continues its transformation towards a more responsible cycling with the publication of its 2024 Sustainability Report. Faithful to its desire to take concrete action for a better world, Trek takes a new step forward in reducing its carbon footprint and commitment to more sustainable practices.

Concrete actions for a measurable impact

Since publishing its first report in 2021, Trek has implemented ambitious initiatives to limit the environmental impact of its activities. This year, the company announces that its short-term goals have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), ensuring a path in line with scientific recommendations for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Among the main progress in the 2024 report:

Transition to cleaner aluminum: Trek now sources aluminum from plants powered by renewable energy, reducing emissions related to frame production by up to 70%.

Increased use of recycled materials: recycled foams in helmets, bins composed 95% of plants, and packaging without plastic.

Optimization of electric bicycle batteries: Trek extends their lifespan and facilitates recycling through concrete solutions, in collaboration with Call2Recycle.

Renewable energy: Trek now powers 100% of its global headquarters and main facility with clean energy and aims to achieve this goal for all its infrastructure by 2030.

Encouraging sustainable mobility: through programs like PeopleForBikes and the Trek Foundation, Trek invests to make cities more bicycle-friendly and accessible to everyone.

A call to action for the entire industry

Trek is not content to act alone but invites the entire sector to follow its example. The company is implementing stricter standards for its suppliers and openly sharing its approaches, with the ambition of inspiring a global transformation.

"We are not here just to produce bicycles, we are here to make a difference," declares John Burke, president of Trek Bicycle. "This report illustrates our progress, but above all our commitment to continue going beyond."
