FLORSHEIM’S ENVIRONMENTAL,
SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) PLAN

“At Florsheim we understand that everything we do has an impact on the world. We believe it’s our responsibility to embrace materials, processes and technology that reduce our environmental impact. To reach that goal we have created a step-by-step approach to sustainability that transforms our intentions into action.

We pledge to never “greenwash” or simply pay lip service to the cause. We are committed to a transparent approach to sustainability and to setting concrete goals. Our environment, social and governance strategy focuses on everything from our footwear materials, our factory partners, our offices and operations, and our people and communities.”

- Tom and John Florsheim
