When we combine our time and passion,
we don't have to wait for change —
we are the change.
How We’re Driving Change
We unleash the power of
underserved youth around the world.
We do this by supporting partners that put young people in

themselves, their families and their communities.
So far, we’ve positively affected 1.5 million of these young
changemakers. And we’re on a mission to reach 5 million by 2025.

WHAT PROGRESS HAVE WE
MADE WITH THE FOSSIL
BRAND SO FAR?
Be Accountable
We’re striving to change the industry for the better with planet-friendly
innovations – like leather alternatives and global take back programmes
– to help revitalise our natural world.
Certifications
We currently source more than 90% of our leather for our bags and small leather goods from Leather Working Group certified tanneries. Meaning the tanning process this leather went through met with strict requirements on responsible water use, wastewater discharge, energy use, chemical management and air emissions.
Take back programmes
We’re developing take back programmes in our stores across the globe in order to recycle and reuse products and packaging.
