TOMS Shoes Sustainability Actions

Published a 2025 impact report

TOMS says it published a 2025 impact report and that 408,000 lives were positively impacted through customer shopping. The report is meant to show how the brand says its business model supports children’s education, health, and well-being. This is a past and present action because it describes impact already delivered, not a future target. The claim comes from TOMS itself, so it shows the brand’s own view of its social impact rather than an outside assessment.

Expanded giving beyond shoes

TOMS has moved beyond its original shoe-giving model and now says it supports causes such as children’s education, health, and well-being. A 2019 press release said the company had also expanded into impact grants for issues like physical safety, mental health, and equal opportunity. This shows a shift from a single product-linked donation model to a wider social impact approach. The source is a company press release, so it reflects TOMS’s own reporting of its activities.

Ran a resale credit program

TOMS says customers can send in gently worn shoes, clothing, and accessories through its Pack Your Preloved program and receive TOMS.com credit through a partnership with thredUP. This is a circularity step, meaning it tries to keep products in use for longer instead of sending them straight to waste. The program is an action already in place, and it is relevant because it can reduce waste and encourage reuse.

Gave shoes, sight, and water

TOMS’s earlier impact reporting says the company has given over 95 million pairs of shoes since 2006, helped restore sight through eyewear sales, and supported safe water access through coffee sales. A 2019 release also said the brand had established 37 sustainable vision centers and provided over 722,000 weeks of safe water. These are historical actions already completed, and they show how the brand linked sales to social programs over time.
