Skechers Sustainability Actions

Published impact reporting

Skechers publishes an annual impact report and a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate work. The Commons Earth says the company reported Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for 2023, with a total of 82,593 t CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent, a way to measure greenhouse gases together). It also says Skechers uses third-party auditing for some emissions reporting. This gives readers some public data, but the company still does not share Scope 3 emissions, which usually cover most of a fashion or footwear brand’s footprint.

Improved buildings and energy use

Skechers says its corporate facilities use LEED Gold-certified buildings (LEED is a green building rating system). It lists features such as natural lighting, high-performance glass, R30 insulation, Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, low-water fixtures, drought-tolerant planters, LED daylight harvesting, and motion-detected lighting. These steps are meant to cut energy use, save water, and reduce waste in offices and other company buildings.

Uses some recycled packaging

Good On You says Skechers uses some Forest Stewardship Council (FSC, a certification for responsibly managed forests) certified packaging. The Commons Earth also says the brand has reduced virgin plastic in packaging and uses 100% recycled cardboard and 100% recycled plastic in its packaging. This suggests the company has made some progress on packaging materials, even though it still gives limited detail on the full scale of those changes.

Supplier code and labour checks

Skechers says it requires factories and material suppliers to sign its Supplier Code of Conduct each year. It says the code bans forced labour and child labour, requires compliance with local labour laws, and includes environmental rules. The company also says it runs scheduled and unannounced audits, trains suppliers, and uses a whistleblower line and compliance program. It says the updated 2024 supplier code strengthens labour-management rules, including contracts, recruiting agency standards, and repatriation requirements.

Human rights and slavery statements

Skechers says human rights are a core value and points to its Corporate Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics, and anti-bribery policy. It also says it publishes a yearly statement under the UK Modern Slavery Act, which is a law that asks companies to explain what they do to stop slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains. The company says it has not found forced labour in its own audits and would require corrective action if it did.
