Begum Kurkcu, Head of ESG at On: “We’re incredibly proud of our positive trajectory toward achieving our sustainability targets. We’re proving that we can grow our business and continue to put the environment first. This is extraordinary given the tremendous growth our company is experiencing and our expanded physical footprint with new stores and offices.”
In 2022, On set out to help their partners build safer workplaces, cleaner supply chains, and move away from coal. Today, a third of On’s Tier 1 suppliers use renewable energy. On aims for all their strategic Tier 1 partners to be fully powered by renewable energy by 2027.
On envisions a fossil-free future and regularly pilots new business models that advance circularity. This includes resale opportunities, product subscription services, and paths for consumers to close the loop when their products reach the end of their life. On’s strategy focuses on Cyclon™, its subscription-based circularity program, and Onward™, its pilot re-commerce program. To accelerate its circular journey, On is now a member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the leading think-tank on the circular economy.
Ignite the human spirit through movement
At On, everything is driven by a mission to ignite the human spirit through movement. This mission inspired On to create Right to Run, a social impact program that tackles barriers to movement for communities around the world – from access and inclusion to safety.
In the initiative’s first three years, On impacts people worldwide through long-term support, one-time giving, volunteerism, product donations, and more.
Today, On partners with 19 organizations globally - nearly double the reach from just two years ago. So far in 2023, On has donated 14,000 units of product. That means in the first half of 2023, On has already donated more than 8 times the amount of product the brand contributed in 2022, with even more donations planned throughout the year.
