Forward™ Initiative
In the spring of 2022, we planted a seed with the launch of our first-ever sustainable sneaker, the Generation ZERØGRAND II—featuring an innovative
upper design crafted in 85% recycled plastic bottles and our patented FlowerFoam™ outsole. Since then, our collection of sustainable products
has blossomed and we continue to innovate to deliver consciously crafted footwear, bags and accessories using a minimum of 25% naturally derived or recycled content by weight.

When you see the word SUSTAINABLE next to Cole Haan products, you’ll know there’s a minimum of 25% naturally derived or recycled content by weight in that product.
When we include leather, we use responsible leather sourcing—seeking tanneries that
are gold-rated by the Leather Working Group.
Our SUSTAINABLE products will also include some features made from recycled or reconstituted materials that will deliver upon the needs of our consumers.
From recycled yarns in our shoes to post-consumer waste in our packaging, we will continue to look for additional ways to reduce waste and reuse
existing materials. Use less; gain more.
For other materials—which we use to ensure that our products meet our exacting performance standards
and endure long-term wear—we will seek to minimize waste wherever possible.
