Sustainability:
Let's make a free planet together
We believe in a carefree world and in the power of renewal, so we have committed ourselves
to two things that go hand in hand: the planet and our people.
Havaianas ❤️ Planet
We're always thinking with the planet in mind. From beaches to forests, we give back so that people, just like you, will feel inspired to make more conscious choices in their daily lives in order to live in the lightest, most harmonious way possible.
When it comes to manufacturing, we're fully immersed in our processes and products — we're constantly looking for innovative solutions and rethinking traditional logistics, from raw materials, production, transportation, to even final disposal and recycling.
Havaianas ❤️ People
For us, nothing feels better than a colorful and comfortable environment where everyone can express their unique way of life freely.
Our goal is to make sure that people can identify with, feel represented by, and have access to our diverse range of products. We want people to know that with Havaianas on, you can always feel inspired to express yourself freely.
Our journey to create a more free world is a continuous evolution — we know that the footprints we leave behind are as important as the steps we take.
We're all about circularity
We value the principles of a circular economy. Because of this, we continually work to improve waste management through our production process, investments in innovative technology, and development of partnerships.
In addition to being extra careful about our production process, we also focus on the end cycle of our products. Every time someone purchases a new pair of Havaianas and stops using their old ones, a cycle of use ends, and a new one begins. Instead of throwing them out, we encourage our consumers to recycle them with us through our reCYCLE program.
Sustainable every step of the way
When it comes to sustainability, we look at our entire production chain, from our packaging, materials, production lines, and even transportation to you! It's important for us to understand all the links so that we can be conscious of our impact on the environment and society.
We invest $20M globally in innovation
Every year, we re-evaluate our portfolio, research new raw materials, seek partnerships, and design more sustainable products capable of building systemic solutions together with partners.
