Appendix
Our governance structure keeps our corporate social responsibility focused, strategic, and accountable. To launch our formal impact journey, in 2022 the CSR Director established a CSR Task Force. These leaders set the mission, vision, and framework for integrating impact across our business. Their efforts were complemented by the CSR Leadership Council, led by the CEO, which provides strategic guidance and approves priorities. Together, these groups aligned Red Wing Shoe Company’s CSR initiatives with company goals to begin driving sustained progress. GOVERNANCE & STRATEGY
UNDERSTANDING OUR IMPACT In 2023, the CSR Task Force conducted a materiality assessment to identify and prioritize the environmental, social, and governance topics most critical to our success. The assessment used a double materiality lens to examine Red Wing Shoe Company’s influence on the world and the issues that affect our operations and strategy. This process, guided and informed by research and stakeholder engagement, provided a strategic foundation that aligns our CSR initiatives with our values and enables purposeful action.
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES For over a century, integrity and responsibility have been at the heart of our business. We are committed to safe, ethical, and sustainable practices— protecting the people who make our products, those who wear them, and the places where we live and work. Red Wing Shoe Company’s Standards of Business Practices Code sets clear expectations for ethical conduct and legal compliance across our supply chain. Applicable to all business partners—including suppliers, contractors, and sub-suppliers—the code mandates the fair treatment of workers in line with international standards and requires compliance with both local laws and Red Wing Shoe Company’s guidelines. Our commitment to health, safety, and wellbeing also extends to our operations. Our global hubs in the U.K. and Norway are ISO14001 (environmental) and ISO45001 (occupational health and safety) certified through 2027.
