Since our founding in 1949, our purpose has been to help people achieve a Sound Mind in a Sound Body. But in order to achieve Sound Mind, Sound Body, we need a sound Earth to run on.
So we’re taking action— working to reduce carbon emissions, embracing recycled materials and using less resources, to continue bringing the benefits of movement to the world we love to run on.
Our carbon footprint label
The new carbon footprint label is part of our continuing efforts to improve transparency around our carbon emissions. We are measuring and sharing the carbon footprint of our products, allowing wearers to make decisions that not only benefit mind and body, but also the planet.
Our efforts towards circularity
Using fewer materials, reusing materials and making longer-lasting products.
1. Design
Create products that use fewer resources
2. Materials
Use recycled, bio-based and water-efficient options when possible
3. Production
Source renewable energy and manufacture efficiently and cleanly
4. Use
Constantly improve quality so products last even longer
5. New Life
Encourage ways to extend product life

These images are artistic interpretations of recycled or sustainable materials. They may not be actual representations of the specific ASICS product or material used.
*ASICS defines "shoe's main upper material" as the material which covers the most surface area in the upper.
Together, we ran for reforestation.
To celebrate the success of the Runkeeper Run for Reforestation Challenge, ASICS will now be planting a grand total of 95,950 trees!
