ST. LOUIS, Dec. 8, 2025 – 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 2026. This marks the fifth 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 quantitative data from more than 30 KPI across the three areas of ESG, as well as CSR reputation derived from an extensive survey conducted among U.S. residents, assessing the public’s perception of each company's social responsibility efforts.
"Receiving this recognition for a fifth consecutive year is a testament to our consistent approach and continued commitment to creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders. It comes down to caring, which is one of our core company values – caring about people, ethics, integrity and our shared planet,” said Jay Schmidt, CEO and president of Caleres. “We’ll continue every day to work to make a difference in our communities and the environment.”
