BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Crocs, Inc. (NADSAQ: CROX), a global leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men and children, today announced a major step in its sustainability journey - a commitment to becoming a net zero company by 2030.
As a brand that believes everyone should be comfortable in their own shoes, Crocs is taking action to create a more comfortable world, considering every piece of its business and searching for impactful ways to reduce environmental impact and waste.
Crocs' inherently simple approach to design, the materials it uses, and how its shoes are manufactured mean that our iconic Classic Clog already has a low carbon footprint today. To achieve its 2030 goals, Crocs is taking it a step further with a strategic focus on sustainable ingredients and packaging, as well as investments in resource use and innovative product afterlife solutions.
'Taking action to reduce our environmental footprint by implementing more sustainable practices across our entire business is the right thing to do for Crocs,' said Crocs CEO Andrew Rees. 'As a company, we are deeply committed to accountability and we're confident that we have the right team, the right innovations and the right partners to help us achieve our net zero ambitions by 2030.'
In addition to reducing its environmental footprint, Crocs remains committed to its brand purpose as a vocal advocate for community and inclusivity, creating a welcoming environment for everyone, rooted in governance, transparency and accountability. As part of this mission, Crocs continues to provide shoes, funds and time in times of need through its Crocs Cares program while ensuring that the brand welcomes all one-of-a-kinds both internally and externally.
Crocs will publish an annual ESG report in early 2022.
