We're bringing the benefits of a Sound Mind, Sound Body to the world we love to move in by taking steps to reduce our emissions.
We measure the carbon emissions at each stage of a product’s life cycle. Below, we’ve explained the carbon footprint of our GEL-NIMBUS® 26 shoe, one of ASICS' pinnacle running shoes.
Processes to get finished materials include:
Materials-related carbon emissions for the GEL-NIMBUS® 26 shoe total 5.2kg CO2e/pair.
Processes for product manufacturing include:
Manufacturing-related carbon emissions for the GEL-NIMBUS® 26 shoe total 3.9kg CO2e/pair
Processes for transporting materials during all stages of the product's life cycle include:
Transportation-related carbon emissions for the GEL-NIMBUS® 26 shoe total 0.5kg CO2e/pair.
Process-related carbon emissions for the GEL-NIMBUS® 26 shoe total 0.1kg CO2e/pair.
In partnership with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), we’ve based our use emissions on the ASICS shoe care guidelines.
Processes for disposal include:
Disposal-related carbon emissions for the GEL-NIMBUS® 26 shoe total 1.1kg CO2e/pair*.
*Since ASICS’ products are sold globally, we use industrial or global representative scenarios to calculate disposal-related carbon emissions.
