Volcom Australia Sustainability Actions

Uses some recycled materials

Good On You says Volcom uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials. This means the brand has at least started to use inputs that can reduce pressure on virgin resources. However, the same assessment says there is no evidence of meaningful action on chemicals, water use, biodiversity, or climate impact, so this step looks limited rather than broad.

Some final production is FLA certified

Good On You reports that part of Volcom’s final production stage is certified by the Fair Labor Association (FLA, a group that checks labour standards). This suggests at least one part of the supply chain has some outside labour oversight. The same source also says the brand partly traces its supply chain, but not enough to show full visibility or strong worker protection across all stages.

Traces part of its supply chain

Good On You says Volcom partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some second production stages. Supply-chain tracing means a company tracks where products and materials come from. This is a useful first step because it can help spot labour and environmental risks. But the assessment also says there is no evidence of living wages or strong diversity and inclusion action in the supply chain.

Uses Responsible Down Standard

Good On You says Volcom uses down certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS, a standard meant to improve animal welfare in down supply chains). The brand also appears to use leather and wool. The same assessment says there is no clear animal welfare policy, so this looks like a partial step rather than a full animal-welfare approach.
