Mental Health
Awareness Month
We encouraged our staff to complete the Be There Certificate training created by Jack.org in partnership with the Born This Way Foundation to empower each of us to support someone struggling with mental health. We also spent a few days at Camp Brave Trails, helping build bunk beds and prepare the camp.
Word Mental Health Day
On October 10th, in celebration of World Mental Health Day, we launched our TOMS 10X10 program, where we gave $10,000 USD grants to 10 mental health-focused organizations around the world.
About the Organizations
These ten organizations have significant mental health programming and an established record of providing tangible resources to their communities. Learn more about them and their work with local communities.

Sustainability is a Journey, Not a Destination
We've always been in business to improve lives, which means taking good care of the place we call home.
Our Commitments
To make smart, long-term improvements to our products and practices, we’ve identified key commitments which will carry us through 2025. Take a look at four of them.

We have been delayed on measuring our carbon footprint due to the supply chain pressure as a result of the pandemic. We're educating ourselves on carbon measurement and finding ways to reduce our footprint.

Ground-Up Change Starts With Us
In 2020, we made a long-term commitment to ensure our company and culture are rooted in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism.
Anti-Racist Organization
Our Culture & Experience Committee and DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism) Committee work to ensure we actively combat systemic racism and policies that lead to inequities.
![](http://tomsaustralia.com.au/cdn/shop/files/Screen_Shot_2023-10-26_at_2.23.57_AM_400x.png?v=1698261898)
A day to share, learn and understand systematic racism as we become better allies. Every year, we host a Day of Learning, where we work on building an inclusive, racially equitable culture in our company.

Not everyone benefits equally from salary negotiations, so we removed them altogether. We publish pay ranges in our open position postings, so all budgeted salary ranges are transparent.

Our program includes everyone‐regardless of level. We monitor representation for both mentees and mentors and encourage all of our staff to share, learn, and grow together.

We are a proud part of the rich and diverse Los Angeles community, and our goal is to be the best representation of the diversity of our hometown. This means creating structures and policies that address equity through the employee lifecycle—from applying, hiring, and onboarding processes to advancement, learning opportunities, and other internal development programs.
Data gathered: October 2022.

Giving Tuesday
Once a year, we close our global offices and dedicate an entire workday to volunteering with local nonprofits and the communities they serve.
This year, our Los Angeles office partnered with SuitUp, an organization that increases career readiness for all students through innovative business plan competitions. Internationally, our EMEA and APAC offices partnered with local community organizations.
Meet Our New HQ
2022 brought new changes to TOMS. We reduced our footprint and moved to a smaller, more efficient space in Culver City.
As part of bringing our new space to life, we invited local artists to share their interpretation of equity on our walls. The result? A beautiful, diverse, inspiring place for all.
