Under Armour has been awarded a SEAL Business Sustainability Award in the Sustainable Innovation category in recognition of its new approach to highlighting the microfiber shed-rate industry-wide and on materials and textiles it sources. The company’s goal is to have 75 percent of its high performance athletic apparel, footwear and accessories made of low-shed materials by 2030.
