Mion - EcoMetrics
Without a world worth exploring, our footwear couldn’t be put to its best use. That’s why Mi?n is committed to making our shoes in the most environmentally friendly way possible. We realize that we still have a long way to go toward reaching a mode of production that is completely respectful toward the earth. But our dedication is genuine and we are devoted to implanting our environmental philosophy into every aspect of our business.
Therefore we’ve made an earnest commitment to…
…promote visibility into the impact of our choices. Mi?n created the industry’s first EcoMetrics label to help us make better choices and to give consumers visibility into the impact of theirs.
…renewable energy. Because renewable energy was not available in China where we manufacture our shoes, we sought out partners, like Green-e, to help us maintain our commitment to renewable energy. With their help, we’re able to effectively purchase wind power from South Dakota to offset 100% of the energy used in manufacturing our shoes. 100% of our European distribution center is fueled with on-site wind turbines and solar panels.
…solar energy. Mi?n’s US distribution center also receives 60% of its power from on-site solar panels. This center, located in Ontario, CA is one of the largest systems of its kind in the country, and in the top 50 for size in the world.
…working towards carbon neutral. 100 percent of the vehicles driven by Mi?n’s US sales team feature a TerraPass, which supports energy projects that balance out the climate impact of each sales rep’s vehicle and moves us all ahead on the road to a future of clean, renewable energy.
