Asics Sustainability Actions

Published 2025 sustainability report

ASICS released its 2025 Sustainability Report and says it uses the GRI Standards (a common reporting guide for environmental and social data). The report says the company is working through its VISION2030 plan and Mid-Term Plan 2026, with two main pillars: People and Planet. It reports a 44.8% cut in COâ‚‚ emissions from direct operations compared with 2015, 38.2% renewable electricity in business facilities, and 24.1% renewable electricity at strategic Tier 1 footwear suppliers. It also says supplier compliance with ASICS standards reached 100%.

Set science-based climate targets

ASICS says it became the first sporting goods company to have its science-based targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi, a group that checks whether company climate targets match climate science). It says it aims to cut COâ‚‚e (carbon dioxide equivalent, a way to measure all greenhouse gases together) by 63% across direct operations and its supply chain by 2030, reach 100% renewable energy across business facilities by 2030, and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The company also says it tracks emissions across its business and supply chain.

Expanded carbon footprint labels

ASICS says it has started showing carbon footprint labels on some products so shoppers can see the emissions linked to a pair of shoes. It describes this as a way to make product emissions more visible and help people compare options. The brand says it has already used this label on several running shoe models, including the GEL-KAYANO 31, GEL-KAYANO 30, and GT-2000. It also says the GEL-KAYANO 31 has about a 27% lower carbon footprint than the industry average, based on its own footprint method and MIT research.

Used more recycled materials

ASICS says it is shifting toward a circular model, which means keeping materials in use for longer and reducing waste. It says it uses recycled polyester, recycled cotton, organic cotton, and bio-based materials in some products. The company also says more than 40% of conventional polyester materials were replaced with recycled polyester across global footwear production in 2023. It has a target to use 100% recycled polyester by 2030 and says some shoes already use recycled PET bottle fabric and bio-based cushioning materials.

Ran reforestation campaigns

ASICS says it launched the Run for Reforestation Challenge and worked with One Tree Planted on tree-planting activity. The company says 102,711 people took part in the challenge and that 50,253 trees were planted in 2023 across countries including Indonesia, Brazil, the United States, and Romania. It also says it planned to plant 95,950 more trees in 2024 through the same effort. These activities are presented as part of its climate and nature work, linking sport with reforestation.

Improved supply chain oversight

ASICS says it focuses on human rights and transparency in its supply chain. It reports that 100% of suppliers complied with ASICS standards in 2025 and says it uses a supplier code of conduct, audits, and a confidential whistleblowing system for workers and partners to report concerns. Good On You also notes that ASICS has an internal grievance mechanism for supply chain workers. The company says it wants fair and ethical partnerships, but outside assessors still say it does not publish a full supplier breakdown or clear evidence on living wages.

Started biodiversity assessment

ASICS says it carried out its first biodiversity assessment to better understand its impact on nature and its dependence on natural systems. It places biodiversity and water management inside its wider sustainability framework and says it wants to reduce harm to nature capital. This is part of a broader effort to look beyond carbon alone and consider how materials, manufacturing, and operations affect ecosystems and water use.
