Animal Welfare

OUR THOUGHTS ON ANIMAL WELFARE

 

UGG® is committed to empowering you with information on the materials and craftsmanship that go into our products.

 

What is the UGG® stance on sourcing sheepskin?

 

We do not believe in the exploitation or killing of animals solely for the purpose of their fur.

 

So, where does UGG® source its sheepskin?

 

To affirm our commitment, we have a strict Ethical Sourcing and Animal Welfare Policy affirming our position that we will only use fur which is a byproduct of the meat industry. The meat industry purchases animals from a farmer, the tanneries purchase hides directly from the meat processing facilities, and we purchase directly from those tanneries. 100% of all hides used in our footwear are sourced from Leather

Working Group-certified tanneries or are recycled leather.
