Since our founding in 1949, our purpose has been to help people achieve a Sound Mind in a Sound Body. But in order to achieve Sound Mind, Sound Body, we need a sound Earth to run on.
Our carbon footprint label
The new carbon footprint label is part of our continuing efforts to improve transparency around our carbon emissions. We are measuring and sharing the carbon footprint of our products, allowing wearers to make decisions that not only benefit mind and body, but also the planet.
Our efforts towards circularity
Using fewer materials, reusing materials and making longer-lasting products.
1. Design
Create products that use fewer resources
2. Materials
Use recycled, bio-based and water-efficient options when possible
3. Production
Source renewable energy and manufacture efficiently and cleanly
4. Use
Constantly improve quality so products last even longer
5. New Life
Encourage ways to extend product life

Our materials
Polyester Fabric from Recycled PET Bottles
Polyester production from recycled PET (rPET) bottles emits less CO2e and uses fewer fossil resources than traditional polyester production. This process encourages the recycling of used plastic bottles instead of virgin plastic.
At least 70% of the GEL-QUANTUM 360™ VIII shoe’s main upper* is made with polyester fabric from recycled PET.
Bio-Based Materials
Bio-based materials are intentionally made from substances derived from living (or once-living) organisms. These natural resources can be drawn upon to create fabrics for textiles or compounds for sole components. Sugarcane and cellulose nanofiber are some examples.
The NIMBUS MIRAI™ shoe features FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, which is made with at least 20% bio-based materials.
Solution Dyeing
Solution dyeing will help reduce carbon emissions from our dyeing by 45% and reduce water usage by 33%.
The SOLUTION SPEED™ FF 3 shoe’s sock liner is made using a solution dyeing process.
