Earthbound: Radical Eco-Friendly Sneakers

In an era of growing ecological awareness, Earthbound™ stands out as a leader in the sustainable footwear industry by producing sneakers made from 97% natural materials and as the first Croatian company to hold the B Corp certification. The brand founded by brothers Hrvoje and Domagoj Boljar is changing the way we perceive footwear.

Pioneers of Sustainability

Earthbound’s™ commitment is primarily confirmed by its certifications. Two years ago, it became the first footwear company in the world to receive the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification for a complete product, and in 2023, the first Croatian company with B Corp certification.

The rigorous process of obtaining B Corp certification took more than two years, resulting in an outstanding score of 89.3 points on the B Impact assessment. Earthbound™ joined a global community dedicated to redefining business success by balancing profit and purpose, with over 7,500 B Corp certified companies in 88 countries, and is currently one of only a few certified companies in the region.

Alongside Oeko-Tex, a certification that confirms non-toxicity and 97% natural composition, B Corp was a pivotal moment in its mission – undeniable proof that it operates for the benefit of society, employees, investors, and customers. For Earthbound™, B Corp is not just a business success but also a confirmation of its mission.

– Our business journey is personal: it is a form of redemption for us. After participating in the toxic production of footwear, Hrvoje and I are committed to educating both consumers and the industry – said Domagoj Boljar, co-founder of Earthbound™.

Change Makers

Earthbound’s™ journey is described as a continuous innovation and growth. Their path is not only focused on product development but also on raising awareness of ecological impact. The goal is to make consumers aware and encourage them to make informed decisions, but above all, to educate the industry to offer better solutions. By promoting radical ecology in every sphere of business, Earthbound™ aims to inspire change within the industry, where sustainability is slowly becoming the norm.
