About the Company
We are more than a company, we are a Movement. At TOMS we take our mission of “Improving lives through business” very seriously and we hope you will too. If you are not familiar with TOMS, our business philosophy is rooted in the concept of Giving. With every product our customer purchases, TOMS helps a person in need. One for One®. It all started in 2006 when American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. Realizing that One for One could serve other global needs, TOMS launched other products including TOMS Eyewear in 2011, TOMS Roasting Co. in 2014, and TOMS Bags and TOMS High Road Backpack Collection in 2015. In keeping with the One for One promise, purchases of these products help improve the lives of people in need by helping restore sight, providing safe water, supporting safe birthing practices, and aiding bullying prevention programs. TOMS is in business to improve lives. With every product you purchase, TOMS will help a person in need. One for One®. Since our founding, we have given over 60 million pairs of shoes to children in need, helped restore sight to more than 400,000 people, helped give more than 335,000 weeks of safe water and supported safe birth services for 25,000 women. We are giving in over 70 countries around the world through partnerships with more than 100 Giving Partners.
