2021 Levels
Our vision shows us the possibilities of making what’s better for the people better for the planet. To that end, our targets span four critical focal points: Carbon Emission, Waste, Renewable Energy and Water.
50% of our carbon emissions will be reduced through a multi-faceted approach.
100% of our in-house foam waste will be recycled and reused in production process.
Use renewable energy to power our production facilities sustainably.
80% of our freshwater usage will be cut to maximize our water conservation.
Our path to achieving our 2025 targets and creating a more sustainable footwear supply chain.
We will continually develop products with ever increasing amounts of recycled and bio content that lessen the need to use fossil fuels and chemicals.
We are proud to have achieved Material Carbon Footprint Certification ISO 14067 allowing us to provide our customers a transparent reporting of our product carbon footprint.
Instead of throwing production scraps into the landfill, we will recycle 100% of our in-house waste by safely reusing it in the next production cycle.
To meet our customers’ demand for recycled materials, we’ve created a waste recycling program with our partners in Vietnam to recycle additional production waste from their factories.
A huge step toward meeting our 2025 zero-waste goal came from our R&D team, which successfully developed a foam material that is made from 100% recycled PU waste—the Dreamcell ZERO.
We’ve utilized closed-loop manufacturing in our product development for 50 years. We store in-house production waste, then regrind and reuse this recycled material in the next production cycle.
We are using solar energy to power lights, air conditioning, and hot water in multiple factories across southeast Asia. To further reduce our GHG emissions, DSC is continually working to widen the scope of its solar energy program to supply power for factory operations.
We are implementing both water-saving devices and rain harvesting systems in our facilities in Asia in order to minimize freshwater usage. As we scale this critical water preservation and recycling infrastructure, we project that the percentage of freshwater we’re saving can be reduced by 80% by 2025.
DSC is proudly committed to supporting our customer’s sustainability goals in every facet of our business. Our reusable Green Box is sturdy and waterproof, it is the optimal sustainable packaging solution for your product delivery.
Sustainability is a team sport that we all run together, each of us doing our part in carrying the baton of sustainability forward. If you share the same vision, we want to work with you. Together, we can run further towards high quality, sustainable products for the benefit of our planet and people.
