KORS LOVES OUR PLANET

Our commitment to reducing our environmental impact takes many forms—from increasing the amount of lower-impact materials used to craft our products, to doing our part to fight climate change. We know there is more work to be done, but we are proud to share where we’re at on our sustainability journey.



LOWER-IMPACT MATERIALS

We prioritize innovative, lower-impact raw materials that do not compromise on style or quality. And we want to help you shop with sustainability in mind.

PACKAGING


We know our customers care about sustainable packaging—and we do too. Our goal is to reduce the amount of packaging we use, increase the recycled content of those materials, and always prioritize options that are easily recyclable once you’re done with them. Today, 99% of our store packaging is recyclable or sustainably sourced. And the work continues.
