Outdoor footwear and apparel brand Timberland says it has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 36% compared with its 2006 output and is on target to achieve its aim of halving emissions by the end of the year.

The company measures the levels of greenhouse gas emissions from all of its owned and operated facilities. According to the company, the reduction was achieved mainly through renewable energy procurement at its distribution facilities, decreases in employee air travel, and increased energy efficiency at its retail locations with Timberland being the first company to achieve the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) retail certification for mall-based stores.
