Sustainability reporting alignment

The Philippines is strengthening its sustainability reporting regime, through latest moves to align its standards with guidelines provided by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Implementation will take place through three phases, commencing in FY 2026, with full adoption from FY 2028-2030, depending on the classification of the reporting entity.

Sustainable materials in footwear

In FY22, the Deckers UGG brand transitioned their standard Classic outsole to a “sugarcane EVA” composition beginning with the SS23 season. Sugarcane EVA is a preferred material because it is made using swift-growing, rainwater-fed, renewable sugarcane. Using sugarcane provides a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based, non-renewable materials often used in conventional footwear.
