Primal Soles commits to delivering measurable environmental impact through two concrete sustainability initiatives aligned with the UN SDGs:
- SDG 13 - Climate Action: Primal Soles commits to reducing the carbon footprint of its footwear production by sourcing and using cork as its main raw material. The cork’s production process begins with a carbon-negative input of -8.2 kg CO₂/m², as verified through the Footcork Evolution assessment. Based on Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) conducted by Amorim and Manufy, Primal’s footwear generates one-sixth of the emission compared to the industry average.
- SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production: Primal Soles is committed to reducing footwear waste sent to landfill. This is achieved by implementing a circular product model that considers the entire lifecycle, from design to end-of-use. Every product is created for easy disassembly and reuse, in full compliance with the EU regulation on shipments of waste. Through a network of established retail and distribution partners, Primal Soles facilitates the collection, monetisation, and reintegration of 100% of its post-consumer waste.
