Sheepskin is a natural, breathable material that keeps the feet warm and dry. This assures that animals are free from hunger and thirst, discomfort, pain, fear and distress, and are free to express most normal animal behaviours.
We never accept hides that have come from animals who have been solely raised for their hide, or from animals who have been raised or slaughtered inhumanely. We also do not use wool from mulesed sheep and stand against the practice of transporting live animals overseas. We do not source animal hides outside of our permitted animal hides list in order to ensure our animal-based materials are always food industry by-products, are never derived from endangered or vulnerable species, and are never sourced using inhumane methods.
This means we never use exotic skins, domestic or feral cats and dogs, angora rabbit, or rabbit hair. We do not believe in the exploitation or killing of animals solely for the purpose of their fur. This means that we do not use pelts or fur from wild or domestic animals that were killed solely for their hide for example mink , and instead only use the by-products hides from animals that were raised for the food industry.
As part of our wider sustainability program, we also research and develop viable alternatives that answer the performance needs of our products and the demands of consumers to deliver material innovation and choice. Our suppliers are required to respect and uphold the Five Freedoms, an internationally accepted standard of welfare for livestock. We only use the finest grade-A Twinface sheepskin in the world, putting each sheepskin through an extensive process to ensure it provides our signature UGG experience.
We need to understand where our sheepskin originates from to avoid areas known for animal rights abuses, ensure that we are sourcing from reputable suppliers, and ask those suppliers to certify compliance with our policies. There are two kinds of sheep farmers: farmers that raise sheep for their wool and farmers that raise sheep for food. The sheepskin used in UGG products come from farmers who raise sheep primarily for food. The cycle works like this: the meat industry purchases animals from a farmer, the tanneries purchase hides directly from the meat processing facilities, and we buy directly from those tanneries.
In short, the key challenge is influencing farm-level activities when there is not a direct relationship with the farmer. In support of countries that regulate the treatment of animals, UGG only sources sheepskin from the following countries: Australia, United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Spain. UGG does not source sheepskin from sheep raised in the Middle East, North Africa, or countries that do not have animal welfare standards. Although all our hides are sourced as by-products from food producers and then purchased directly from tanneries, we want to ensure that responsible standards have been upheld as far back as we can, including at the farm level.
For this reason, we have embarked on a regenerative farming partnership with Savory Institute to support responsible and restorative land stewardship. The Savory Institute helps farmers move towards restorative solutions that can help heal the land and increase resistance to climate change by regenerating topsoil, improving the water cycle, and enriching the ecosystem by increasing biodiversity. We ensure that we only use sheepskin that is a by-product of the food industry.
