I OBJECTIVES ECCO designs, manufactures and markets footwear and related accessories to consumers around the world. Over the last more than 50 years, ECCO has developed from a local Danish company into an international company with production units and sales subsidiaries all over the world. Today, ECCO is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of high-quality footwear. ECCO has attained this position through constant innovation and sound business principles. However, it is just as crucial to ECCO’s success that the company leads the way when it comes to good corporate citizenship. No matter where in the world ECCO operates, this is done according to a set of principles which stipulate that we will behave in a correct and decent manner. This is our heritage as a Danish company. The principles apply to employee relations, to environmental considerations and to relations with business partners. As expressed by K. Toosbuy, the founder of ECCO, “ECCO is a guest in each of the countries in which it operates and shall as such respect the culture of the country”. The respect for other people and cultures is deeply rooted in the company. As a large employer, ECCO understands its responsibility and accepts it. ECCO will only achieve long-term business success by demonstrating good corporate citizenship, which in turn can only be secured if the business is based on constant achievement of good results. This is the very heart of the ECCO Code of Conduct as regards sustainable development, issues related to religion, employee relations, health and safety, environmental protection and community relations. It is essential to ECCO that the ECCO Code of Conduct is an integral part of the entire value chain. We therefore expect not only the companies within the ECCO Group, but also our external suppliers, wholesale and retail customers to acknowledge and respect the ECCO Code of Conduct. We regularly control that the ECCO Code of Conduct is being complied with.
