Floris van Bommel is part of Schoenfabriek van Bommel, a family business that says sustainability and corporate social responsibility are self-evident and are implemented in every element of business practice. The company states that it aims to manage the business so it can be handed to the next generation in better condition. It also says it continuously works on reducing its ecological footprint. The brand’s sustainability history includes a 1997 shoe with an environmental label, after which the focus shifted from a single product to overall sustainable business management.

Floris van Bommel Sustainability Actions

First environmental label shoe

In 1997, long before ‘An inconvenient truth' and growing media attention for sustainability and the environment, Schoenfabriek Van Bommel was the first shoe manufacturer in Europe to supply a shoe that bore an environmental label. In an intensive programme, the production chain for the shoe in question was closely examined from cow to finished product.

Production chain examined

In order to meet the requirements of the environmental label, every element of the process was duly adapted, altered or registered. The requirements imposed by the environmental label include a reduced burden on the environment in terms of raw materials, energy, water consumption, harmful substances, packaging and waste.

CSR in business practice

Since these experiences with the environmental label shoe, ‘sustainability’ at Van Bommel has no longer been used as a selling point. Instead, sustainability and corporate social responsibility have been implemented in every element of business practice.
