Skechers x TNC: Our Planet Matters

Encouraging environmental awareness with every step

November 30, 2021

Habitat loss and degradation have been contributing to our planet's biggest threats: accelerated climate change and unprecedented biodiversity loss. Our most precious ecosystems and vulnerable communities are at stake and we each need to take action now.

Forests Need Our Help

  • Forests are home to 80% of Earth's land-based animals. 
  • 18 Million acres of forests are lost globally each year!

As a global lifestyle brand, we have a wonderful opportunity to encourage consumers of every age to become more environmentally conscious in their daily lives.

Michael Greenberg

President of Skechers

Partnering to Inspire Millions

Skechers and TNC are partnering to grow the environmental awareness of consumers through the Our Planet Matters product line, a collection of products that aims to bring attention to conservation. The Our Planet Matters offering contains materials such as recycled cotton, polyester, rubber, EVA and TPU, as well as durable designs and washable technologies to extend the life of the product.
