TOMS's mission was to donate a pair of shoes for every pair the australia email address list y sell and this has resulted in the donation of over 95 million pairs of shoes to children in need. However, the company faced criticism for creating a dependency on free shoes and collapsing local shoe-making industries.
As a result, TOMS re-evaluated its strategy. Instead of focusing on free shoes, the company now donates one-third of its profits to grassroots campaigns in the areas of mental health, access to opportunity, and ending gun violence.
“We learned that giving shoes, sight, and safe water for over a decade was an amazing start— the right start — to creating meaningful change. But, the decision to give impact grants instead will enable our community to do even more. Rather than giving shoes, we’re giving 1⁄3 of our profits. In other words, $1 for every $3 we make, which is about as much as a company can give while still keeping the lights on.” - TOMS Impact Report.
As a result of their CSR initiatives, TOMS has helped 105 million people’s lives and counting!
