Corporate, Human and Environmental Responsibility > Our Sustainability Journey
Our Sustainability Journey
HOKA joined the United National Global Compact (UNGC) in 2016. With over 9,500 participating companies, the UNGC is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative and requires an annual statement of progress (see our Corporate Responsibility Report). In addition, we have established our own sustainability goals (e.g. “7 by 2027”) dealing with waste, water, materials, chemicals, climate & clean energy, human rights, gender equality and quality education.
Materials
Seek sustainable alternatives for key materials, sourcing at least 90% from suppliers certified by third party benchmarking organizations.
Waste
Sustainably reduce waste generation among key factory partners by 50% through prevention, reduction, recycling, and resue.
Water
Reduce consumption and improve quality. Ensure 90% of our core factory/supplier partners apply industry best practice on water treatment and usage.
Climate & Clean Energy
Reduce energy consumption and integrate climate change measures into our policies and planning, including the installation of solar panels at our California non-retail facilities.
Human Rights
Embed Human Rights across our operations and supply chain. Positively impact the communities where we operate.
Chemicals
Achieve environmentally sound management of chemicals and reduce the discharge of hazardous chemicals amoung our key factory/supplier partners by 50% to minimize adversity impact on human health and the environment.
Gender Equality & Quality Education
Promote diversity, gender equality, female empowerment, and inclusion for all.
