Sustainable Footwear

Incorporating sustainability into the business is ensuring that decisions taken today do not prevent future generations from having a better quality of life in the future, preferably with sustainable footwear at their feet.

In a business context, sustainability is about ensuring that workers, workplaces and business structures are ethical, equitable and economically viable. JJ Heitor has its own facilities and factory, which guarantees control of the entire value chain, from development, production and delivery to the customer. When designing a product, we take into account the need to make use of materials, tools and production processes.

In the supply chain, some suppliers are selected for assessment of environmental practices. Whenever possible, we use local suppliers, minimizing the carbon footprint associated with the transport of raw materials, necessary for the production of sustainable footwear. The products have a high quality and durability, being accompanied by instructions for footwear maintenance in order to prolong the life of the product.

Our Sustainability in numbers

We work continuously to improve our environmental performance, adopting the best practices in the footwear sector, in order to contribute to a more sustainable world, where shoes are also more ecological, greener.

Care for the Environment, but also for our people

We want all our direct and indirect employees to feel protected, valued and proud to belong to this family. In this way, a set of principles of ethics, conduct and social responsibility were developed that regulate and demonstrate our values of transparency, professionalism and ethics in business.

We also provide health insurance for all employees, with the possibility for the worker to extend it to family members at competitiv cost. We award an attendance bonus and provide legal advice if necessary.

In order to ensure the consolidation and positive evolution of the social responsibility principles in which we believe, we have been implementing the requirements of Standard SA 8000. This Standard addresses the social impact of organizations, by defining requirements related to the conditions under which employees, partners and suppliers work.
