Since moving to the Cloud in October 2020, Gap Inc has increased investments in technology to enable growth and innovation that can impact its entire portfolio of brands.

Earlier this year, the Strategic Growth Office led Gap Inc’s acquisition of Drapr, an e-commerce startup that powers 3D-fit technology and virtual fitting rooms to reduce online returns, and also participated in the latest funding round for obé fitness, a digital fitness platform that partners with Gap Inc’s Athleta Brand to bring entertainment, pop culture, and design to fitness.

Gap Inc recently released its 2020 Global Sustainability Report in which it said it is on track to meet its goal of sourcing 100% renewable energy by 2030 for globally owned and operated facilities.
