Our planet is our home. And it is the duty of each one of us to protect it. As the effects of global warming, increased pollution levels and fast diminishing natural resources become more profound, Woodland is watching with great alarm as we are heading towards an uncertain tomorrow. It is this rampant destruction of our beloved home that has strengthened our resolve to save Earth in whatever ways possible.

This resolve is reflected in our definition of quality which includes a mandate for making products and working with processes that cause the least harm to the environment. It evaluates raw materials, invests in green technologies, and rigorously manages its wastes to protect nature.

In the beginning we followed this mandate by making boots using renewable materials which were later bound by water-based adhesives. Soon enough, it graduated to running its manufacturing facilities with solar and wind energy. Today, this dedication to make our world a cleaner place can be seen on a wider scale. Woodland packaging utilizes 100% recyclable material. Additionally, pollution prevention by minimizing waste and emissions from operations is what it is trying to implement.

We further embrace the responsibility to preserve natural resources by planting trees, erecting solar panels, developing sustainable products and encouraging civic action to care for our planet. Thereby, expressing a deep reverence for nature.

We believe in using business to inspire solutions to the environmental crisis. And it is with this belief that we strive to discover new ways to make Earth a better place for us all.

Our Sustainable Journey
Sustainability is not a goal, it's a journey, and at Woodland it is part of our brand heritage. Sustainability and conservation form the core of our pledge to advance the well-being of the planet, its citizens and those who enjoy exploring it.

People - Our Philosophy
The people at Woodland are actively engaged in the journey to sustainability; our associates, and customers are passionate about their outdoor activities and dedicated to preserving the places they explore.

We encourage our people to continually explore ways to make their communities stronger and our planet healthier. And we guarantee strong fair labor standards at our factories and stores around the globe.

Sustainability is a long-term commitment. Each department and each employee's performance are evaluated based on annual sustainability goals. We are continually challenging and improving our sustainability goals and working to engage all of our stakeholders.

We believe that environmental waste is financial waste.  As such, we are committed to eliminating waste and inefficiencies in our operations, products and day-to-day business activities.  At Woodland, we strive to provide the best possible value to our consumer by eliminating any non-value added items such as environmental waste from our product life cycle.

Planet - Our Philosophy
Today's natural world is changing quickly. Our customers, employees and athletes often return from expeditions with stories of receding glaciers, decimated forests and unprecedented drought.

A healthy planet is vital for the success of our business. At Woodland, we are focused on energy and resource conservation and the elimination of waste as the main ways to minimize our environmental footprint.

All paper and corrugated cardboard are recycled. Wherever possible paper is used on both sides before being recycled. Our warranty department reuses boxes that arrive at our door and purchases additional corrugated cardboard from a supplier that provides used boxes.

Products - Our Philosophy
Our products represent our creativity, passion and vision. They are our opportunity to showcase our dedication to innovation that respects the natural and social systems. It is only natural that our products embody sustainable ethos.

We know that sustainaility does not have to come at the expense of price, performance or quality. Product innovation at Woodland involves using technologies and fabrics that continue to provide the high performance our customers are accustomed to, but eliminate the use of harsh chemicals and excess materials.

Profit - Our Philosophy
We take a holistic and systematic approach to sustainability. It is not an end goal; it is a journey that involves continuous improvement. We are focused on incorporating social and environmental considerations into the way we operate our business and affecting positive change within our industry.

Sustainability as an advantage
In today’s competitive global economy, a paradigm shift is taking place in the manufacturing process. Woodland has wholeheartedly fallen in stride with this shift because it knows that by doing so it will discover faster, more innovative and less environmentally impactful methods of doing business. And as it looks to the future, we are committed to keep working harder to exceed the expectation of customers and employees alike.
