Hired for product sustainability

Brooks posted a job for a Senior Product Sustainability Analyst in 2020. The role was meant to support the company’s Climate Roadmap and science-based targets, which are emissions goals based on climate science. The job also focused on measuring the environmental impact of materials and manufacturing, using life cycle assessment (a way to track impact from raw materials to disposal). This shows Brooks was building internal skills to study product impact and carbon emissions.

Used Higg tools for impact data

The same job listing said Brooks wanted to expand use of the Higg Materials Sustainability Index and Higg Product Module. These are tools used in the apparel and footwear industry to compare material and product impacts. Brooks also planned to use Higg data to improve Scope 3 emissions accounting, which means emissions from its supply chain and product life cycle. This suggests the company was trying to make its product data and carbon tracking more detailed.

Reported 2025 progress

A 2025 corporate responsibility update shared several results: 1,000 volunteer hours through Brooks Community Days, 85% of suppliers disclosing their supply chain down to raw materials, an 80% cut in Scope 2 emissions across offices and distribution centers, 94% of products using recycled and/or bio-based materials, and 97% of footwear material waste diverted from landfill or incineration. Scope 2 emissions are the pollution from purchased electricity. These figures were shared by the company and were not independently verified in the source.

Held a responsibility summit

A 2026 Corporate Responsibility Summit in Ho Chi Minh City was discussed in a public post about Brooks’ supply chain. The session focused on renewable energy, direct power purchase agreements, and the GHG Protocol, which is the main global method for counting greenhouse gases. The post said Brooks’ supply chain had good solar adoption and that one factory had added battery storage alongside solar. This points to work with suppliers on cleaner energy, although the details came from a partner’s commentary rather than Brooks itself.
