1% FOR THE PLANET<br />

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYi<br />

One Percent for the Planet is an international organization, whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to<br />

environmental causes. Their mission is to “build, support and activate an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy<br />

planet. TUR has committed to giving back 1% of annual sales to supporting our planet. Last year, $11 million was given to food, wildlife, water<br />

and climate. $18 million each to land stewardship and environmental human health, and $22 million to support environmental education.<br />

SUSTAINABLE APPAREL COALITION<br />

The Sustainable Apparel Coalition was founded by a group of sustainability leaders from global apparel and footwear companies. They<br />

recognize that addressing our industry's current social and environmental challenges are both a business imperative and an opportunity.<br />

Through multi-stakeholder engagement, the Coalition seeks to lead the industry toward a shared vision of sustainability. The coalition is<br />

built upon a common approach for measuring and evaluating apparel and footwear product sustainability performance that will spotlight<br />

priorities for action and opportunities for technological innovation. The current focus is development, piloting and broad adoption of the Higg<br />

Index, a tool for measuring the environmental and social performance of apparel products.<br />

RECYCLE WITH TUR<br />

When you have loved your TUR product to their fullest extent instead of throwing it away, we will take it! Bring back your TUR clothing to<br />

any of our retail locations so that we can recycle it. It takes less energy to create new items from recycled materials than it does to create<br />

new products from raw materials. By doing your part you will not only be saving the planet, but you will also receive 10% off the next TUR<br />

product!<br />
