Skechers Announces Global Partnership With the Nature Conservancy and Launches Our Planet Matters Recycled Collection - Seite 2

Skechers’ partnership with The Nature Conservancy will help fund the organization’s mission, which encompasses global efforts such as reforestation initiatives that align with the Company’s longstanding commitment to reducing tree harvesting and emissions through packaging. A 2020 Sourcing Journal Sustaining Voices honoree, Skechers utilizes recyclable cartons at its factories and distribution centers and environmentally friendly packaging materials for its products, from the exclusive use of soy- and water-based ink and recyclable foot forms and tissue paper, to a ninety-nine percent reduction in plastic since 2016. Ninety-nine percent of Skechers’ shoeboxes meet the FSC standard for responsible sources, and the Company regularly ensures that its materials are FSC-certified, recycled or ethically harvested.

With an eye on reducing its carbon footprint, Skechers has made its environmental advancements a top priority at its corporate facilities—building LEED-Certified Gold distribution centers in North America and Europe, along with its expanding headquarters in Manhattan Beach. At its two key Corporate Headquarters in Manhattan Beach, the Company uses 30 and 48 percent of its energy from the sun—with up to 34 percent of solar energy use anticipated on Skechers’ upcoming buildings. The Company also plans to expand its Corporate Headquarters as LEED-Certified Gold facilities.
