Our social and environmental commitment is incorporated in the foundation of every product and every business decision we make.
|
From the gold standard of factory certification to the use of certified post-consumer recycled fibers in our catalogs and packaging, our commitment is visible throughout all aspects of our brand.
| |
Some of our initial efforts towards a life of balance and well-being include:
- Selecting a factory that is one of only 31 footwear factories in the world with SA8000 accreditation (emphasizing social responsibility)
- Corporate member of The Conservation Alliance
- Creating shoe inserts from 100% post-consumer waste
- Lining our Tilden sport sandal with recycled polyester and charred bamboo for their natural performance properties
- Packaging our products in boxes made from 100% recycled material, non-laminated for improved recycling, and printed with soy inks
- Printing catalogues and business cards made with 100 percent post-consumer fibers, processed without chlorine and certified by both the Forest Stewardship Council and the Rainforest Alliance
- Going paper-free in our public relations efforts with unique online press kits and going as paper-free as possible in our internal and external communications
