Our Sustainability Journey

Sustainability is not an easy journey, it is a constantly evolving world but one we find absolutely necessary to protect our people, maintain our purpose, and preserve the environment for future generations to come.

Our Sustainability Journey

Our Corporate Responsibility Program encourages us to always look at the broader impact of our activities on our consumers, employees, communities and the environment. We recognize that our global scale is significant, and equally significant is our obligation to advance sustainable business practices. We admire the passion of our consumers who want to know more about our products, the conditions in which they are made, and what we are doing to reduce our overall environmental footprint. We are committed to communicating our efforts with full transparency. Sustainability is not an easy journey, it is a constantly evolving world but one we find absolutely necessary to protect our people, maintain our purpose, and preserve the environment for future generations to come.

We are honored to be a part of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). With over 9,500 participating companies, the UNGC is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. Sanuk joining shows our commitment to conducting business with the utmost respect for universal principles around human rights, labor standards, responsible environmental practices, and anti-corruption. This partnership requires an annual statement of progress (our Corporate Responsibility Report), which, we believe, sets us apart from others in our industry. We have adopted our own sustainable development goals and have identified targets under each of them. We believe our targets will keep us accountable and will help us to track our progress and commitment in the categories of Waste, Water, Materials, Chemicals, Climate and Clean Energy, Human Rights, and Gender Equality and Quality Education.
