LA Ugg Boots Sustainability Actions

Launched a sustainability site

UGG launched a separate site called Feel Good to explain its long-term sustainability work. The site is meant to show progress on three areas: environment, community, and innovation. The brand said this was meant to make its work easier to follow and to give more context on its projects and partnerships. This is mainly a transparency step, because it gives consumers a place to see what the brand says it is doing and why.

Uses repurposed wool materials

UGG says its most used textile fiber is repurposed wool, which is made from sheepskin wool that is harvested and woven using its UGGpure technology. The brand says this uses less water, less energy, and creates less carbon dioxide than virgin wool. Independent sources also note that UGG uses recycled polyester, sugarcane EVA, and other lower-impact materials in some products.

Works on emissions tracking

UGG has worked with expert partners to measure its environmental impact and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, which is a global climate deal. Its parent company, Deckers Brands, publicly reports company-level emissions and says it tracks them by scope, meaning it separates direct emissions and supply-chain emissions. Independent ratings also say Deckers has science-based targets, which are climate goals based on what scientists say is needed.

Supports worker and community programs

UGG has supported HERproject, a workplace program focused on health, financial inclusion, and gender equality for women workers. The brand said it had trained more than 33,000 women since 2016 and aimed to reach 100,000 women globally by 2027. It also donated $125,000 to GLAAD in 2020 and offers an all-gender capsule collection. These actions link sustainability with social impact and inclusion.

Uses repair and care services

Independent rating sources say UGG offers paid repair options, including a partnership with NuShoe, and gives care instructions to help products last longer. It also offers a one-year warranty. These steps matter because keeping footwear in use for longer can reduce waste and lower the need to make new products as often.

Uses certified materials

UGG and its parent company use some certified materials, including leather and hides from Leather Working Group-certified suppliers. The Commons Earth also says the brand uses materials certified by GOTS, GRS, RWS, and FSC, which are standards for organic textiles, recycled content, responsible wool, and forest-based materials. These certifications suggest some parts of the supply chain are checked by outside groups.
