What Are Levi Strauss & Co.'s Sustainability Goals and Metrics?

Levi Strauss & Co. publishes a dedicated "Sustainability Goals & Metrics Update" on levistrauss.com, which is the primary place to find its stated sustainability targets and progress data. The company frames this work around its purpose of "delivering profits through principles" and the idea that "clothes — and how you make them — can make a difference." If you want the actual numbers, commitments, and timelines, that update is the document to read; the homepage itself only links to it rather than listing the figures.

Where the goals and metrics live

The homepage surfaces a link titled "Read our Sustainability Goals & Metrics Update." This is the entry point for anyone who wants specifics rather than general statements. The homepage also links to Worker Well-being, described as programs designed and delivered with vendors and workers to meet worker needs — one of the areas the sustainability reporting covers.

Because the homepage does not reproduce the targets or the measurements, treat the update itself as the source of truth. Anything beyond what that document states should be verified there before being repeated.

What the company says it is trying to do

From the page evidence, the sustainability framing rests on a few stated ideas:

• Purpose: "deliver profits through principles" — profit and principle are presented as connected, not opposed.
• Core belief: "Clothes and how they're made can make a difference" — the emphasis is on the making process, not just the finished product.
• Heritage as context: The company says it has been "innovating to meet people's needs since 1853" and that it "invented the first blue jean."
• Worker Well-being: A named program area, run in partnership with vendors and workers.

These are directional statements. They tell you what the company says it cares about; they do not by themselves give you measurable goals.

How to read the update usefully

When you open the Sustainability Goals & Metrics Update, sort what you find into three buckets so you can judge progress rather than just absorb claims:

1. Goals — what the company says it intends to achieve, and by when.
2. Metrics — the specific quantities it reports against those goals.
3. Progress — how current performance compares to the target, including any year-over-year change.

A goal without a metric is an aspiration; a metric without a baseline is hard to interpret. Look for both, plus the reporting period each figure covers.

What this page does not tell you

The homepage evidence does not include specific environmental or social targets, dates, or numerical results, and it does not list pricing or account requirements. So this article cannot confirm particular commitments or figures — only that a dedicated update exists and that Worker Well-being is one named area. For anything you plan to cite, quote, or act on, go to the update and read the numbers in context.

Quick reference

If your goal is a decision — whether to trust a claim, cite a figure, or compare the company against peers — start with the update, note the reporting period, and check whether each goal has a matching metric. That is the difference between reading a mission statement and reading a scorecard.
