Uggs2U Sustainability Actions

Uses some lower-impact materials

UGG uses a mix of lower-impact and higher-impact materials in its products. Independent reviewers say it includes recycled materials, organic and recycled cotton, 100% recycled polyester fibers, sugarcane EVA, and repurposed wool in some items. It also uses leather and suede that are LWG-certified, meaning the Leather Working Group has checked the tannery against environmental standards. At the same time, the brand still uses materials such as EVA and conventional rubber, which are less sustainable. The brand does not publish a full breakdown of all materials it uses.

Set emissions reduction targets

UGG’s parent company, Deckers, has set science-based targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Science-based targets are climate goals that match what climate science says is needed to limit warming. Good On You says the company has set targets for both direct operations and its supply chain, but also says it is not on track. The Commons Earth says Deckers reports company-level emissions, gives a breakdown by scope (Scope 1, 2, and 3, which cover direct, energy-related, and supply-chain emissions), and says its latest estimated footprint was 1,193,459 tons of CO2e in FY2024.

Offers repair and care support

UGG offers paid repair services and a one-year warranty. The Commons Earth says it works with NuShoe, a repair provider, and gives customers care instructions to help products last longer. This matters because repair can keep footwear in use instead of sending it to landfill. The same source says UGG also uses 3D design and prototyping to reduce physical samples, which can help cut waste during product development. However, it does not offer a take-back program, so there is no clear brand-run system for returning worn-out products.

Publishes sustainability information

UGG has a sustainability page with detailed information on climate strategy, and its parent company publishes an annual report with progress updates. The Commons Earth says Deckers shares emissions data, supplier information, and a supplier code of conduct. That code covers forced labor, child labor, collective bargaining, environmental rules, and grievance channels for workers. Good On You also notes that UGG has an internal grievance mechanism for workers in its supply chain. Even so, both sources say the brand still lacks full supplier breakdowns and stronger proof of living-wage practices.
