[Goldwin Co., Ltd.] Allbirds 2023 Sustainability Report released. Reduced carbon footprint by 22% compared to the previous year. ​
Allbirds Press release: November 26, 2024 Allbirds 2023 Sustainability Report released. Reduced carbon footprint by 22% compared to the previous year. Achieved over 90% achievement rate for the target by 2025. “Allbirds” has released its 2023 sustainability report. Our mission is to “reverse climate change through the power of business.” In order to achieve this goal, we need to reduce our carbon footprint (greenhouse gas), which is a major factor in climate change. Therefore, we place great importance on measuring, displaying, and reducing our carbon footprint (we became the first fashion brand in the world to display carbon footprint on all products). To achieve this goal, we announced two goals in 2020. 1. Halve the carbon footprint of each product by 2025 2. Reduce to zero by 2023 *For details and the full text of the 2023 Sustainability Report, please visit Here Please take a look.

approximately 8% of the total, but it is important to measure and reduce your carbon footprint. Just like dieting, you can’t lose weight if you don’t measure it. Allbirds reduced the carbon footprint of each product by 1.58kg CO2e, to 5.54kg CO2e (22% reduction compared to the previous year). A typical sneaker has approximately 14kg CO2e, so this is less than half the amount. The goal achievement rate for 2025 is getting closer. The development of lightweight packaging, the use of renewable energy, and the shift to a focus on footwear business are the main factors contributing to the reduction. This report will be distributed at all Allbirds stores in Japan (Harajuku, Marunouchi, Osaka) and on the official website from November 27th (Wednesday). Main initiatives and results in 2023 ▼ Regenerative agriculture – Shift to agriculture that grows healthy soil and reduces CO2 We use more wool materials from regenerative agriculture. We were able to release the Super Light Wool Runner in 2023. We announced the M0.0NSHOT project, the world’s first zero-carbon shoe, using wool sourced from Lake Hawea Station, a sheep farm in New Zealand that has successfully absorbed (sequestered) CO2 emissions. ▼ Renewable materials – Reduce materials derived from virgin petroleum and substitute natural or recycled materials In the fashion industry, approximately 55% of the materials used in products are said to be derived from fossil fuels, which have a negative impact on the global environment. To solve this problem, we must shift to more recycled or natural materials. Outside of products, in 2023 we will renew the packaging of our footwear. By significantly reducing the weight, we have successfully reduced CO2 emissions during transportation and reduced the environmental impact. ▼ Environmentally responsible energy – Reduce energy consumption and use environmentally friendly fuel and electricity Almost all of our footwear is manufactured at our Vietnam factory, and we have expanded the use of renewable energy and introduced measures using REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) at our main factories. ▼ Projects supported in 2023 Together with Nordic ski skier Akito Watanabe, we are working to solve climate change through tree-planting activities in Hokkaido, environmental education for junior athletes, conservation of the Amazon rainforest, and investment in regenerative agricultural wool in Argentina. I supported it. Carbon footprint calculation tool Measuring, displaying and reducing our carbon footprint is an industry-wide effort. However, I think there are many companies who don’t know how to start. Therefore, we have made the carbon footprint calculation tool we created open source so that anyone can use it. KAPOK KNOT became the first company in Japan to introduce carbon footprint using this calculation tool. Here It can be downloaded from. What is carbon footprint? Carbon footprint refers to the kg CO2e emitted to make a product. Emissions of all greenhouse gases are converted into CO2 emissions. From April 2020, “Allbirds” will display the carbon footprint of all products. In addition to aiming for zero emissions in the manufacturing process, we will create a world in which “knowing CO2e emissions for the sake of the earth” is commonplace, just like the calorie labeling on food products. ▼Click here for details https://allbirds.jp/pages/sustainability

Born in San Francisco in 2016 by a unique team of two people “Allbirds”. Questioning traditional shoe manufacturing with big logos, flashy colors, and chemical materials, Tim turned to merino wool from his home country of New Zealand. Tim believed in the potential of superior merino wool and teamed up with Joey to create Allbirds, a line that combines comfort, sustainability and simple design. Their signature product, “Wool Runners,” is made of the highest quality merino wool that softly wraps around your feet. Not only is it comfortable with excellent heat retention, breathability, and odor resistance, but it is also environmentally friendly by using recycled polyester for the laces, castor oil for the insole, and SweetFoam(R) made from sugarcane for the sole, which reduces the carbon footprint. We have created products with thorough
consideration. What’s more, the convenience of being able to wash it in the washing machine was a hit. Leonardo DiCaprio, an Academy Award winner and environmental activist who is gaining support in Silicon Valley, where the latest technology is being produced every day, invested in the company, and its reputation has spread all over the world. Since then, we have launched the “Tree” series, which has a breathable and comfortable mesh structure made from eucalyptus fibers, and the “Plant” series, which is made from 100% vegetable-based leather. We develop materials and provide the world with products that are needed in modern society, taking into account the impact they have on the global environment.
