Crocs Caresâ" program recognized for global shoe donations and
community support
NIWOT, Colo., Aug 18, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Crocs,
Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) today announced that the company has been awarded
the 'Do
Good' Stamp from Ladies' Home Journal. The 'Do Good' stamp is
given quarterly to corporations that are dedicated to doing good and
making the world a better place. The award is in recognition of Crocs'
corporate social responsibility program, Crocs CaresSM, which
is focused on making a difference in the lives of children and families
in need through initiatives that positively impact employees and local
and global communities.
Crocs is recognized with the 'Do Good' stamp in the Lades' Home
Journal September 2011 issue, which highlights the work of Crocs
CaresSM in support of the health and wellbeing of children
and their caregivers in financially depressed communities and those
impacted by natural disasters. Since the launch of Crocs CaresSM
in 2007, Crocs, has donated close to three million pairs of shoes in
more than 40 countries. Most recently, Crocs donated more than 100,000
pairs of shoes to Japan, in conjunction with Feed the Children, in the
wake of this year's devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami.
"Giving back has always been a priority for Crocs, and we are proud to
be recognized along with the other current and past Ladies' Home
Journal 'Do Good' Stamp recipients who have made doing good a
priority," said Melissa Koester, Crocs CaresSM program
manager. "Crocs is committed to positively impacting communities in need
around the world, and we look forward to continuing to make good on this
commitment in the future."
In addition to its local and international aid work, through Crocs CaresSM,
employees are encouraged to give back to their local communities. In
2010 alone, Crocs employees donated roughly 2,000 hours of their time
volunteering in their communities and participating in employee-driven
fundraisers.
The 'Do Good' stamp is awarded by an advisory
board of experts including Sally Lee, the editor-in-chief of Ladies'
Home Journal and Nancy Weber, the chief marketing officer of
Meredith Publishing Group.
