Environmental qualities and characteristics
For six decades, Dr. Martens has stood for timeless, durable designs. We aim to preserve and continue the brand’s heritage through a long-term commitment to sustainability while staying true to our founding principles. Our responsible strategy, Planet, Product, People, sets out our commitment to helping protect the health of our planet.
Our products account for our greatest environmental impact. The Product pillar of our strategy includes commitments to limit their impact and increase our use of materials that meet our definition of sustainable materials.
By 2040, we aim to use only responsibly created renewable, recycled, regenerative and sustainably sourced materials across all our materials. This approach supports our goal of achieving full carbon neutrality by 2040.
We are gradually introducing sustainable materials throughout our collection. For example, our standard heel loops are made from 100% recycled content. Alongside improvements to core products, we test new and emerging sustainable materials and techniques through seasonal launches.
We also aim to improve traceability and the tracking of materials throughout production. As this work is ongoing, some information may be absent from the table.
