ASICS sustainability framework
The framework outlines our sustainability targets, the actions we are taking to meet them, and the partnerships we have established under two pillars: People and Planet. ‘People’ focuses on mental and physical well-being and human rights in the supply chain. ‘Planet’ focuses on climate action and circularity. We also align our focus topics with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to support them through our sustainability activities.

Materiality
Our sustainability framework is based on our company-wide materiality program that identifies and evaluates the material topics that are most relevant to our stakeholders and to our business. We regularly update our materiality matrix to prepare us for the next phase of our business strategy and sustainability strategy. Key topics identified in the latest analysis are: mental and physical well-being, innovation, products’ and services quality, climate action, human rights in the supply chain, circularity, employee engagement, water management, and corporate governance and disclosure.

Sustainability policies and guidelines
Our corporate activities are guided by clear codes of conduct based on internationally recognized standards and conventions. We seek to work only with business partners who share our commitment to sustainability and fair labor practices. Various policies and activities apply throughout this chain, from raw materials suppliers (tier 3 and beyond), through manufacture and retail all the way to consumers and the product’s end of life. We have a number of policies that provide guidance to our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders in support of our sustainability efforts.
