Pou Chen Sustainability Actions

Sustainability team and board oversight

Pou Chen says it set up a Sustainable Development Department to handle corporate social responsibility work. The company also says this team reviews progress twice a year and reports to the board at least once a year. It links this structure to wider governance rules, including a corporate governance code and ethics policies. In simple terms, it has built an internal system to track sustainability work and keep senior leaders involved.

Climate and energy management

The company says it checks energy use and carbon emissions at its footwear factories every month. It also says it looks for energy-saving and carbon-cutting options, and that it is gradually moving toward cleaner, lower-carbon fuel choices where local rules support this. It also says it reviews climate risks and sets adaptation and prevention measures. This points to an ongoing effort to manage emissions and prepare for climate-related risks.

Public factory and supplier data

Pou Chen says it has disclosed information about its owned factories on Open Supply Hub, a public supply chain database. It also says it worked with suppliers to share extra details such as location, worker information, and union density. The company says this is meant to improve transparency and help reduce the risk of forced labor. This is a concrete step toward making its supply chain easier to check from the outside.

Fair pay work with FLA

Pou Chen says it has taken part in the Fair Labor Association’s Fair Compensation Program. It says the program uses data tools and shared methods to help companies measure living wage progress and improve worker pay. The company also says the program was recognized with a 2021 Classy Award for social innovation. This shows the brand has been involved in a wider industry effort on fair compensation, not just internal policy writing.

Worker safety systems

Pou Chen says it uses occupational health and safety management systems at its factories and that 81% of its footwear factories had passed third-party accreditation in 2024. It also says each factory has an Environmental, Energy, and Safety and Health Committee, plus an online system for reporting abnormal incidents. In plain terms, it has formal safety checks, worker committees, and reporting tools to spot and handle risks at work.

Flood relief and community aid

In 2020, Pou Chen and related labor unions supported flood relief in Vietnam and Indonesia. The company says it donated disaster funds, sent supplies, and helped employees affected by flooding. It also says local teams worked with government and community groups to deliver aid and support recovery. This is a social action rather than a core environmental fix, but it still falls under community support and disaster response.
