In 1978, a young Australian surfer founded UGG in Southern California. His Aussie heritage forged a strong love for sheepskin, and he was convinced the world would one day share this love. UGG joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2016, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, committing to operating their business with the utmost respect for human rights, labor standards, responsible environmental practices, and anti-corruption. UGG believes in the empowerment of all people, preserving the planet, and crafting products made to last.
