    • Leather Working Group
      • Raise environmental standards throughout the industry
      • Develop the best practice standards
    • State of the art distribution centre
      • Solar thermal panels to heat hot water – enough for 20% of annual consumption
      • Rain water harvesting for flushing toilets
      • Internal and external energy efficient lighting with daylight sensors for greater efficiency
      • Energy efficient air-conditioning throughout
      • Building certified as ‘very good’ to BREEAM standards

      • Shoeboxes fully recyclable
      • Made from 100% recycled materials
      • Printed with soy ink
        • Solvent free
        • Easier to recycle
    • Health and safety
      • Important to work with our suppliers to implement robust procedures to manage health and safety
        • H&S Toolkit
        • PPE Guide
        • Needle and sharps policy
    • Animal welfare
      • All leather used is a by-product of the meat industry
      • Do not use animal fur, endangered species, or leather from exotic and wild caught animals
    • Give and Toss Campaign
      • Aim: to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills
        • Recyclable waste is collected and sent to recycling centers for processing
        • Other waste is sold on for sorting and processing and is turned into playground matting and athletics tracks
        • Any waste leftover after all of this is sent to their local Materials Recycling Facility where it is sorted, processed and turned into fuel pellets
        • The pellets in turn are burnt as fuel to generate energy to send back to the grid
      • Result: 3% of waste ends up in landfills
  • Promote social mobility through music
    • Docs began as work shoes but then, with the help of music, became a social statement and a way to express individuality
      • The Joe Strummer Foundation
        • Give opportunities to aspiring musicians and to support projects around the world that create empowerment through music
        • Frequent donations
          • One donation was to a recording studio that focuses on working with the disadvantaged and homeless
          • For every copy of the Dr. Martens book ‘A History of Rebellious Self Expression’ that is sold in our own retail stores, 50 pounds are donated
