Animal Welfare

UGG is committed to empowering you with information on the materials and craftsmanship that go into our products.

What is the UGG stance on sourcing sheepskin?

We do not believe in the exploitation or killing of animals solely for the purpose of their fur.

So, where does UGG source its sheepskin?

To affirm our commitment, we have a strict Ethical Sourcing and Animal Welfare Policy affirming our position that we will only use fur which is a byproduct of the meat industry. The meat industry purchases animals from a farmer, the tanneries purchase hides directly from the meat processing facilities, and we purchase directly from those tanneries. 100% of all hides used in our footwear are sourced from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries or are recycled leather.
