Timberland published its 2005 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, outlining the operations, product development and supply chain improvements the company has made over the last year and details community involvement programs from around the world.

“In 2005, we demonstrated to our stakeholders and the industry that we are committed to improving our processes by ensuring we continuously seek ways to run our business in the most responsible manner possible,” said Jeffrey Swartz, Timberland’s President and CEO. “We want to continue to make it better – and we want consumers to demand that from us and other companies they do business with.”

Highlights from this year’s report, titled “Our 2005 Footprint,” include:

  • Focus on Timberland’s efforts in four specific areas: global human rights, environmental stewardship, community involvement and employee engagement
  • Key Performance Indicators which compare 2005 actuals and 2006 targets for our social and environmental initiatives
  • A new feature called “Voices of Challenge” which offers commentary and analysis on corporate CSR efforts by the leaders of Patagonia, The Home Depot, Seventh Generation, Levi’s and Harlem Children’s Zone
  • An updated list of addresses for Timberland factories worldwide
