Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Deckers Outdoor Corporation is a footwear and apparel company, not a financial institution.

The 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value and its associated KPIs are designed to assess companies involved in lending, insuring, moving, or storing money, and how they democratize access to fair financial services for customers. As Deckers does not offer consumer lending, deposit services, or other financial products to external customers, all KPIs are deemed not applicable due to a lack of relevant evidence within the scope of financial services. While the company provides employee benefits like 401(k) matches, stock options, and tuition reimbursement , , and engages in charitable donations and financial inclusion training for its supply chain , these initiatives do not align with the specific definitions and customer-centric focus of the rubric's KPIs for financial institutions.
