Timberland - What kind of footprint will you leave?About 6,000 employees worldwide, a turnover of 1.4 billion dollars (year 2008) and brand presence in over 90 countries - these are the figures. Timberland stands for high quality shoes and apparel and accessories for men, women and children. But Timberland is much more: The renowned U.S. company, based in Stratham, New Hampshire stands for craftsmanship, as well as a social and environmental corporate philosophy. It started with the "Yellow Boat" Back in 1956, the then owner of the Abington Shoe Company, Nathan Swartz, designed the first prototype for his about wet feet complaining janitor Joe. With the "Injection Molding", an innovative method in which the sole is welded directly to the leather, Nathan Swartz revolutionized the footwear industry. The Yellow waterproof boots were launched in 1973. Today they are a cult. In 1978 the company was renamed in "The Timberland Company". Since then it expanded its range continuously. With his commitment and vision the grandson of founder Nathan Swartz and todays CEO Jeffrey Swartz leads the company through the 21 Century. Timberland - "Doing well and doing good"You have to do good, to be really good - is the motto of Timberland CEO Jeffrey Swartz, and thus expression of a socially engaged and environmentally conscious company philosophy: Respect the human rightsThe Timberland Code of Conduct safeguards in cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers that all products are made under fair and safe working conditions and under the principle of equal treatment. They include the voluntary nature of employment and the prohibition of child labor. Responsibility towards the environment Timberland strives to minimize its ecological footprint. This concern is evident in every step from design to production to retail. Thus, the ecological store construction concept, "The Market Place" has been awarded twice with the prestigious LEED® award (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). In addition, the company uses renewable energies at its premises. The use of chemicals is reduced. Shoe boxes are made from 100% recycled material, printed with soy inks and no chemical adhesives.  Natural materials such as organic cotton and bamboo play a major role in the collection. In an exclusive partnership with the Green Rubber Inc. the US-established company manufactures as world first shoes with soles made from recycled tires. These will ne used in the fall collection of the organic Earthkeepers-line. With the Earth Keepers 2.0 Timberland brings the first 80% recyclable shoe on the market. Timberland pays close attention to the origin of its raw materials. The leather which is used processed in the production is tested by the BLC Leather Working Group, in which Timberland is a founding member. Timberland is a role model on energy, the reduction of chemicals and the use of natural materials and thus motivates others to participate. In the shoe box the Nutrition Facts "Our Footprint" informs buyers about pollution during production. "Every day we think about ways how we can improve our products and increase our sense of responsibility." Sun Swartz. Another innovative educational campaign is the "Green Index", a label with information on avoided environmental pollution during production. The involvement of the communities in which we are livingVolunteering and social responsibility are pillars of Timberland's philosophy. Since 1992, Timberland employees stop their "normal" work several times a year and participate in collective, self-organized relief projects. The U.S. company provides its employees each year up to 40 hours free for that purpose. On the global Earth Day environmental and nature-related projects are in the foreground, on the Serv-a-Palooza non-profit and social services are supported. Timberland has agreed to reduce its impact on climate change by reforestation projects. Thanks to the participation of their clients, more than one million trees were planted in various tree planting initiatives since 2001. Timberland lives its social involvement and motivates to participate - to jointly reduce the footprint for future generations! to top |
