Steps Towards More Sustainable Footwear

At Farida, we firmly believe that sustainability is something to build from, not simply comply with. By running our manufacturing business responsibly and enabling our customers, brands, and the industry to make more sustainable choices, we are helping reimagine leather shoes for the good of all.

Our 4-R Approach to Sustainability

Here at Farida, our sustainability initiatives span across production, energy, and most importantly, our people. Below are ways we have transformed our “take, make, and waste” mindset into Reduce, Reform, Recycle, and Be Responsible.
