Foundations
Every product we create has a carbon footprint. As we continue to grow, our challenge is to make that footprint smaller, whilst maintaining the high-performance standards we’re known for.
100%
offices and stores are powered by purchased renewable electricity in 2024
+3%

100%
Tier 1 suppliers phased out coal in 2024
Action on climate
To tackle the challenges of reduced carbon emissions and responsibly managed water, waste, and chemicals across our supply chains, we approach these head-on with clear and achievable goals.
Material traceability
We’re taking steps to track our progress and hold ourselves accountable when it comes to the impact we are having. Through our standards, partnerships and monitoring programs, we’re working towards improved supply chain transparency and better material traceability.
Governance
To build a fair and inclusive future and drive progress on renewable materials and circularity, we need the right decision-making framework to make this possible. This is why we’re establishing clear policies to support our sustainability initiatives while monitoring compliance requirements.
Social Impact
We’re strengthening our focus on the people who make On possible – from On team members to our manufacturing partners and broader communities. We’re doing this by championing diversity, expanding global inclusion groups, doubling down on equitable hiring practices, rolling out comprehensive monitoring of our Tier 1 suppliers, and supporting more communities through Right To Run.
