Corporate Social Responsibility

Overview
Timberland's commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is grounded in the values that define our community: humanity, humility, integrity and excellence. For over 30 years, "community" has been synonymous with the ethic of service—the desire to share our strength for the common good. Our approach to building and sustaining strong communities includes civic engagement, environmental stewardship and global human rights.

Timberland’s Long Term CSR Strategy: 2008-2015
During calendar year 2007, the transition of Timberland’s Corporate Social Responsibility team from four different business units to one unified department led to analysis of current capabilities, priorities and strategic choices. The result of this year-long process is a unified strategy with clearly articulated social and environmental goals. Through greater stakeholder awareness and collaboration, we intend to demonstrate transformative value to our communities and advance consumer and regional objectives.

The Four Pillars
In 2008, we released our new long-term CSR strategy focused on four strategic goals, or “pillars”. Each pillar is supported by several key initiatives with near and long term quantitative targets and was vetted through a rigorous stakeholder engagement process. Click on the different pillars below to learn more.

Quarterly Reporting
Starting in 2008, Timberland will be reporting on key CSR performance indicators on a quarterly basis. We believe this represents an evolution in our CSR reporting process from static data presentation to dynamic information exchange; from corporate statement to stakeholder engagement; and from delayed annual reports to quarterly updates. In addition, this level of disclosure and reporting will provide invaluable feedback loops to help us achieve the bold goals set forth in our long term CSR strategy.
