“In 2004, we initiated drastic energy-efficiency improvements that led to energy and emissions savings of over 40% at our largest facilities. We also started investing in renewable energy. In 2006, solar energy began powering our Ontario (California) Distribution Center. Ontario now features one of the world’s 50 largest solar arrays, generating approximately 60% of the facility’s energy needs.”

“For a bunch of folks wearing lug sole boots, [carbon neutral] may sound like a hard thing to do. But when a boot is made of recyclable and renewable materials, bound by water-based adhesives, manufactured with energy generated by wind and sun, transported by green freight and sold in 100% recyclable packaging distinguished by an industry first nutritional label ...you’ll understand a bit about what we strive for as an enterprise.”
