Stuart Weitzman: Supporting Women Leaders
Originally published in Tapestry's 2021 Corporate Responsibility Report
In FY2021, Stuart Weitzman built upon its signature partnership with Vital Voices by creating the Bold Moves Grant. Stuart Weitzman’s $200,000 donation will fund grants to help women leaders achieve their bold ideas to drive change in their communities.
Stuart Weitzman’s social impact goals are guided by the Shine Brighter Charter, a group of Stuart Weitzman employee ambassadors who collaborate with Tapestry volunteers to drive social impact, employee engagement and brand activations. The Charter’s purpose is to support the brand’s community priorities including:
- Building social impact partnerships and programs that bring Stuart Weitzman’s purpose and values to life and help the world shine brighter
- Providing meaningful opportunities for employees to engage and connect with each other outside of daily work, while giving back to local communities
- Meaningfully connecting with consumers and inspiring them to make a difference
In FY2021, Stuart Weitzman launched several limited-edition designs in support of its philanthropic partnerships. These include the 5050 VOTE boot, which was created to raise awareness about voting during a pivotal point in history. It was launched in support of the brand’s partnership with I am a voter.®, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing voter participation and civic engagement. Stuart Weitzman donated 100% of net profits from the sale of the limited-edition style, totaling $46,637 to support the organization’s mission
