December 17, 2024

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17, 2024 – Caleres (NYSE: CAL), a market-leading portfolio of consumer-driven footwear brands, has been included in Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2025. This marks the fourth consecutive year Caleres has received this prestigious award, presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list can be viewed on Newsweek’s website.

America’s Most Responsible Companies ranking focuses on a holistic view of corporate responsibility that considers all three pillars of ESG: Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance. The analysis is based on the quantitative data from more than 30 KPI across the three areas of ESG, and CSR reputation, derived from an extensive survey conducted among U.S. residents, assessing the public’s perception of each company's social responsibility efforts.

"We are honored to receive this award for a fourth consecutive year. This recognition is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication to making a difference in our communities and the environment. We are making great progress toward the ambitious 2025 goals we set as a company in 2020. Our work here is never done, and we will continue to strive every day to uphold the values that drive our company’s culture and our success,” said Jay Schmidt, CEO and president of Caleres.
