DARN TOUGH VERMONT

One Family Companies should have values. Our company, Darn Tough Vermont, has values. Our values are straightforward. They are – We are direct, straightforward and truthful. We value honesty and a hard day’s work. We are penny foolish and pound wise. We are tough independent and respectful. We value families. We value differences. We wear it on our sleeves. We are authentic. We have yet to produce our best sock. We aim to improve the well-being of our community by locally designing and manufacturing the most comfortable, durable, best fitting socks while continuously reducing our environmental impacts. SUSTAINABILITY We are a sock company, and we don’t believe we can be a positive force for our community – or claim to be socially responsible – without committing to environmental responsibility, too. For us, that commitment begins with durability, one of our primary design principles. Fundamentally, sustainability is a design decision that requires a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. By designing for durability, we don’t simply ensure that our products perform better, last longer, and hold up to our Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee. To us, making a more durable product is a hallmark of buying less and keeping textiles out of landfill, and it’s one of the best ways to minimize the usage of raw materials we rely on. When we dug deeply into our environmental footprint – despite decades of effort to operate more responsibly – we discovered some challenging truths about our industry, our materials, and our own manufacturing. Today, every sock we make has an impact on the planet, and there’s a lot we haven’t figured out yet, but we’re learning every day. We ask that you continue to hold us to the high standards we’ve historically set for ourselves, and as we address the challenges ahead, we’ll relay the actions we’re taking to forge a more responsible path that doesn’t compromise people or the planet. Giving Programs Darn Tough Vermont’s resources for donations and sponsorships are centered around communities in Vermont. We support groups that focus on our state's youth, veterans, homeless and food scarcity.
