A lighter footprint for a brighter tomorrow

A lighter footprint for a brighter tomorrow.

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.

So we're taking action-reducing carbon emissions, embracing recycled materials and using less resources, to continue bringing the benefits of movement to the world we love to run in.

Our carbon footprint label

The new carbon footprint label is part of our continuing efforts to reduce 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 circular approach to addressing climate change

This means using fewer materials, reusing materials and making longer-lasting products.

1. Design

Create items that use fewer resources.

2. Materials

Use recycled, bio-based and more water-efficient options.

3. Production

Source renewable energy and manufacture efficiently and cleanly.

4. Use

Constantly improve quality so products last even longer.

5. New Life

Take items back for reuse and recycling.

Targets for improvement
