Corporate Social Responsibility

Our commitment to improving the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers, partners and the community is unwavering and remains at the core of our operations. Our approach sees us work in close collaboration with all stakeholders to ensure maximum participation and consultation. This is reflected in our Company Values.

Core to our DNA, is our investment in health and safety, ethical sourcing, fair trading, charity and community support. We aim to continuously strive to improve the lives of all stakeholders, whilst positively impacting the community and minimising our carbon imprint.

Corporate Social Responsibility comes naturally to the Steel Blue team, and whilst our journey has been in progress for some time, we will continue to strive for improvement and thank you for your participation and contribution.

At Steel Blue, we are 100% committed to supporting the community and do so in a variety of ways including:

• Donating $10 per pair of Pink & Purple Boots sold to Breast Cancer Care WA, raising over $1,400,000 so far
• Donating $10 per pair of Blue Boots sold to Beyond Blue, raising over $250,000 so far
• Donating over $75,000 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia
• Providing footwear to those affected by environmental disasters
• Continuing our membership with WA Charity Direct
• Supporting Homeless Connect by volunteering time and donating footwear
• Sponsoring a local junior soccer academy in Indonesia

We use our Social Responsibility Standards to select business partners, contractors and suppliers who follow work practices that are consistent with our policies and values, such as acceptable employment conditions and environmental performance.

We believe our collaborative approach to ethical sourcing with all of the stakeholders within our supply chain will deliver the most benefits. We comply with the FDRA Code of Conduct, demonstrate an absence of Zero Tolerance Issues and have received FDRA Responsible Factory accreditation.

In addition, we have developed a Restricted Substance Policy which require Steel Blue suppliers to sign a declaration that no restricted substances that can be harmful to human health or the environment can be used.
