ALLBIRDS EXISTS TO MAKE BETTER THINGS IN A BETTER WAY

Our sustainability efforts span a wide array of areas and issues: climate change, fair labor, animal welfare, renewable energy, and, increasingly, driving our emissions to zero. We use a three-part approach to address our climate impact: measuring our emissions, reducing our footprint, and working to support the removal of carbon from the atmosphere.

What's in a Footprint

Think of our carbon footprint like a scorecard. To hold ourselves accountable in our mission to lower our emissions, we measure our impact and put the results on display. Our carbon footprint accounts for our emissions across five different categories:

What's in a Footprint

Think of our carbon footprint like a scorecard. To hold ourselves accountable in our mission to lower our emissions, we measure our impact and put the results on display. Our carbon footprint accounts for our emissions across five different categories:

01 Materials

We’ve always used natural materials like wool, tree, and sugarcane whenever we can, because we think their natural carbon-sucking ability has the potential to lower our footprint.

02 MANUFACTURING

The truth is, making things takes energy. But when you work with partners who share your values and manufacture efficiently, it turns out you can reduce those numbers pretty significantly.

03 Transportation

Our products move from factory to distribution center, then from distribution center to customers across the globe. And sometimes, they're returned or exchanged. Every leg of a product's journey makes an impact.

04 PRODUCT USE

No matter how lightly you tread, your Allbirds are bound to need a rinse every now and again. Our products are machine washable, and we strongly encourage you to wash on cold and air dry to minimize your carbon footprint and maximize your product’s lifetime.

05 END OF LIFE

Most products end up in a landfill, where they emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere while they decompose. It’s far from a perfect solution, and we’re working on it, starting with programs like ReRun and Soles4Souls® that keep our shoes in use. Want to know more?

Foundational Commitments

Climate change is so important in large part because it's so connected to everything. Which is why our work expands beyond three pillars of commitment and into the following foundational areas.

B Corp Certified

We’ve been a B Corp since 2016, and believe it’s one important way to show our commitment to benefiting people, communities, and the planet.

How We Operate

We’re based in San Francisco, but our network extends from New Zealand, to Peru, to Vietnam, to Brazil, and beyond. As our company grows, we want to do so in a way that honors our partners and their own endeavors to build a better planet.

ReRun™

Allbirds ReRun™ is a marketplace where you can shop slightly imperfect and gently used products, extending their life and lowering our impact on the planet.

Supporting Carbon Projects

While striving for longer-term climate goals, we’re also working to support nature-based carbon removal projects that are more closely related to our value chain.
