At DICK’S, we understand the important role we must play in taking care of the planet and its people. By inspiring our teammates and engaging with our athletes, we are determined to change the game for good.
Our sustainability strategy is designed to create enterprise business value and is focused on having a positive impact on our athletes, teammates, communities, business partners, and shareholders.
I am proud to share our 2022 Purpose Playbook, which details the many ways our company works to support our communities, our athletes, our teammates, and each other — all while being mindful of our responsibility to help protect our planet. In 2022, as athletes returned to dugouts, rinks, fields, and courts, we made significant progress against our sustainability strategy while advancing our business.
Creating an inclusive, equitable, diverse, and safe workplace where teammates can thrive
Breaking down barriers to ensure that all communities have a chance to play sports, learn, and prosper
Providing athletes with innovative, responsible products
Addressing our environmental footprint as responsible stewards of the planet
