Company releases 2022 ESG Summary Report

Today, Caleres (NYSE: CAL) released its environmental, social, governance (ESG) summary report to share an update on activities from 2022 and report progress against the company’s 2025 ESG commitments in an off-cycle year between full biennial ESG reports.

“We are celebrating strong progress as we cross the halfway mark on our 2025 ESG goals,” said Jay Schmidt, president and chief executive officer, Caleres. “We are proud of what we have achieved thus far and believe the collective passion, focus and commitment of our Associates will enable us to reach our targets. I am excited to be leading Caleres at this point in its responsibility evolution and even more excited about the opportunity to improve in the years to come."

Notable achievements shared in the 2022 Summary Report include:

  • 75% of Caleres’ products and 100% of shoeboxes for owned brands use environmentally preferred materials.
  • Caleres reclaimed, recycled or refurbished 90,000 pairs of shoes in 2022, meeting its annual goal.
  • Caleres earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index, measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQIA+ workplace equality.
  • The Caleres Cares Charitable Trust gave $1.2 million in grants and matched over $376,000 through a dollar-for-dollar matching gifts program.
