Sustainability & social responsibility.
TRANSPARENT. SUSTAINABLE. CONNECTED.
We are dedicated to keeping our planet healthy, our community thriving, and our athletes dialed in and performing at their peak. Our mission to become a more sustainable and equitable business starts with our internal practices and extends to our global partnerships. Transparency continues to be key to our mission — we strive to operate with excellence and purpose in everything we do, and we will continue to share our progress toward our sustainability and community goals to keep our consumers and partners informed every step of the way.
The BOA® team is deeply committed to living by our vision, mission, and values, which are rooted in being Sustainable and Socially Responsible in everything we do. Our vision is to “inspire and enable peak performance.” We manifest this through elite athletes pushing the limits of human performance, our employees pursuing their professional and personal aspirations, our brand, supplier, and factory partners achieving their goals, and our community partners paving an equitable path for everyone to achieve a brighter future. This vision is underpinned by BOA®’s core values, including:
“We are an inclusive global team that trusts and cares for each other, our partners, the community, and the environment.” What does this mean for BOA®’s Sustainability and Social Responsibility goals and focus areas?
SUSTAINABILITY – It is simply doing more with less, using the most sustainable materials and energy sources available. We started this journey in 2018 and have reduced our overall plastic usage on average by over 34% vs. our 2018 baseline, and concurrently increased products and packaging with sustainable materials from 0% to 99%. Although we are pleased with our progress, we are not satisfied. We set ambitious goals five years ago to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint by reducing our overall plastic usage by over 50% (on average per dial system), eliminating virgin fossil fuels in our products and packaging, and eliminating waste to landfills through our global supply chain. Although very challenging, we are confident that by working closely with our supply partners, these goals are achievable. Our commitment to Social Responsibility is underpinned by our efforts to help create a better life for everyone in our ecosystem—including BOA® employees, supplier partner employees, and people in underserved communities where we work and live. Over the past several years, we believe we have made meaningful improvements and support all three constituents, including:
BOA® EMPLOYEES – We continue to invest in inclusive recruiting and operating practices through a variety of approaches, including partnerships with external organizations to broaden candidate pools, improving our employee benefits locally and globally, enabling volunteering, offering targeted career development, as well as well-being workshops throughout the workday that focus on physical, social, financial, and mental well-being.
BOA® SUPPLY PARTNER FACILITIES AND EMPLOYEES – Our annual Tier 1 supplier audit program, which commenced five years ago, has resulted in significant improvement in our partners’ sustainable business practices and their employees’ health, safety, environment, and overall welfare. 100% of our six factory partner facilities have received a B or above in their most recent audit, and 5 out of 6 have received the top rating of A.
BOA® COMMUNITY – We have continued to deepen our partnerships with organizations that are dedicated to inclusively expanding access to the outdoors, education, and career possibilities. We are proud to partner with leading organizations, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, Denver Scholarship Foundation, The Chill Foundation, Protect Our Winters, and schools within our supply partners’ communities.
In closing, BOA® is deeply dedicated to being a good steward of our precious planet and to improving the lives and opportunities of everyone in our ecosystem. Thank you for taking the time to read our report and for your interest in our journey. It is deeply appreciated.
