You can trust the process behind our products: 100% Fair Labor Association compliance by 2020 will mean that every person making our products works in safe, healthy, and environmentally Conscious conditions. At our offices and throughout retail, we’ll protect our unique culture that cultivates diverse personalities and ways of thinking, in order to continue our aggressive pace of progression.

When it comes to protecting our playground, we’re keyed in on action and advocacy. We're aiming to achieve a 20% reduction in carbon emissions and divert 75% of our waste from the landfill by 2020 at global headquarters. The Burton US Open has been carbon neutral since 2017 and will be zero waste by 2020. And we're doubling our repairs to reach at least 40% of our repair claims. Most importantly, we use our momentum to set an example and speak out on policy issues that impact our people and the environment.

Improving the sustainability of our products has three points of entry: softgoods, hardgoods, and packaging. Aiming to meet the highest level of safety and environmental responsibility, by design year 2020 (the Winter 2022 product season) all of our softgoods will be bluesign approved, contain only sustainable cotton, use zero biocides, and less water. We’ll reduce carbon emissions by 20% in the production of our hardgoods, and package up our products with only recyclable or compostable materials.

Burton has a responsibility to protect the people and playground that sustain snowboarding and the mountain lifestyle. In other words, we can’t succeed as a business without succeeding at sustainability. This is just the beginning, so follow along below as we move toward our goals.
