- This is an unclaimed profile. Foot Locker has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Foot Locker has published some sustainability and ESG information, mostly around climate, reporting, and community work. It released an Impact Report, said it tracks ESG priorities, and has talked about cutting greenhouse gas emissions. In 2022 it announced an ambition to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner and said it would set a science-based target, which means a target that follows climate science. Independent ratings, however, show a weak picture overall. Good On You rates the brand “Not Good Enough,” mainly because it does not publish enough detail on key environmental and labour issues. Public review sites also show poor customer sentiment, though those reviews are mostly about shopping and product issues rather than ESG. Positive Sentiment Found Positive sentiment is limited, but a few independent signals point to some structure around ESG reporting. Foot Locker’s 2021 Impact Report was described as covering four pillars: people and communities, environmental impact, supply chain sustainability, and ethical and transparent operations. The company also said it used recognised reporting frameworks such as SASB and TCFD, and it took part in CDP, which is a platform where companies disclose environmental data. In 2022 it announced an ambition to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner and said it would set a science-based target. These points suggest the company has at least built some ESG reporting and climate language into its public disclosures. Common Criticisms: Negative sentiment is stronger and comes from independent sustainability ratings and shareholder criticism. Good On You rates Foot Locker “Not Good Enough” overall, with a very weak 1 out of 5 for Planet and 2 out of 5 for People, saying the brand does not publish enough information on key environmental and labour issues. A 2024 shareholder resolution also said Foot Locker lacked enterprise-wide greenhouse gas reduction targets for its operations and value chain, and that it had previously announced a net zero commitment before later removing it from its latest sustainability report. The same filing warned that climate risks could disrupt supply chains in countries such as China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. Trustpilot reviews are also poor, with scores around 1.7/5 and 2/5 on different Foot Locker pages, though those complaints focus more on product quality and order problems than ESG.

Foot Locker Sustainability Commitments
2050
Reach net zero emissions
Foot Locker said in 2022 that it aimed to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest with removals. Later shareholder material said this commitment was rescinded in the company’s latest sustainability report, so the current status of the target is unclear from the available material.
2022
Set a science-based target
The company said it would set a science-based target, which is a climate goal based on what scientists say is needed to limit warming. It linked this promise to its climate reporting and said progress would be shared in its Impact Report. The material does not show a later published target date or full emissions pathway.
2022
Publish annual emissions progress
Foot Locker said it would report progress on selected greenhouse gas metrics every year in its Impact Report. This is a reporting commitment rather than a full emissions-cutting target. The available material does not show whether the company has kept publishing the report on the same schedule or what the latest figures are.
