ECCO's Ethical Policy

With a tradition of responsibility to its employees, ECCO understands how important it is to take care of and to support its employees. We aim to provide our employees with opportunities to reach their full potential and ensure a safe and sustainable working environment. A high degree of employee involvement, lifelong learning, and human rights and diversity are permanent items on the agenda throughout the entire organisation - from factory floor to store.

ECCO believes that providing a positive working environment for its employees includes supporting the communities in which the company operates. We understand that our continued business success depends on the growth, health, and stability of our communities. We respect local people, societies, religions, laws and regulations.

We do more than provide jobs for the local community - we make a meaningful difference in people's lives. We believe in being involved in the communities of which we are a part. ECCO helps communities not only to secure their basic needs, but also to develop skills and gain knowledge and experience to encourage a sustainable future.

ECCO is the only major manufacturer of shoes that has a fully integrated vertical process. This means that we own and therefore control every step of the shoemaking process. This allows us to carefully monitor and control the impacts of all our operations.

At ECCO, we want to be good corporate citizens, wherever we work. We work by clear principles that stipulate that we will behave in a correct and decent manner. Our commitment to being a responsible company is incorporated in the ECCO Code of Conduct.

The ECCO Code of Conduct provides information to guide employees and partners around the globe so that they conduct business in accordance with the company's ethical standards. Corporate responsibility includes how we behave towards our employees, communities, the environment and our business partners.
