When we combine our time and passion,
we don't have to wait for change —
we are the change.
How We're Driving Change

We do this by supporting partners that put young people in

themselves, their families and their communities.

of these young changemakers.
And we’re on a mission to reach 5 million by 2025.

of these amazing organizations:
Leaving the world a better place
for future generations.

How We'll Do It
We're working to achieve our sustainability goals in 3 ways:
Be Transparent
No questions here: All of our pro-planet products will be clearly labeled
so you know exactly what makes your piece better for the earth.
What makes certain products pro-planet?
Eco-friendly products must be made with materials that meet one or more of the following pro-planet criteria:
RECYCLED CONTENT
Made with materials that
meet our minimum threshold
for recycled content.
CERTIFICATIONS
From a source that provides
a well-recognized
sustainability certification.
WASTE MATERIALS
REDUCTION
Made with a process that
reduces waste materials
headed to a landfill.
REDUCED WATER
CONSUMPTION
Developed using a more
efficient processing method
to help reduce water
consumption.
PRO-PLANET PACKAGING
Packaging that is recyclable
and may contain FSC
certified or recycled
materials.
ECO-LEATHER
Went through a resource-
efficient tanning process.
RECYCLED PET
Made with recycled PET
plastic, like those typically
found in water or soda
bottles.
PLANT-BASED
LEATHER ALTERNATIVE
Composed of organic and
synthetic material blend.
BIO-BASED PLASTIC
ALTERNATIVE
Uses bio-based castor oil
instead of fossil fuels in the
making of plastic materials.
SOLAR POWERED
Uses a solar-powered
rechargeable battery
eliminating the need for
battery replacement.
RENEWABLE &
REGENERATIVE
Production process allows
some of the raw materials to
be replaced by a natural
process.
Share Progress
Keep track of our progress,
plus hear from our designers on how
they are evolving our products (and
their production) to go pro-planet.
WHAT PROGRESS HAVE WE
MADE THROUGH FOSSIL
BRAND SO FAR?
Be Accountable
We're striving to change the industry for the better with pro-planet
innovations—like leather alternatives and global take back programs
—to help revitalize our natural world.
Certifications
We currently source more than 90% of our leather for our bags and small leather goods from Leather Working Group certified tanneries. That means this leather went through a tanning process that met strict requirements on responsible water use, wastewater discharge, energy use, chemical management and air emissions.
Take back programs
We’re developing take back programs in our stores across the globe in order to recycle and reuse products and packaging.
