We are excited to welcome Deanna into this key leadership position and are confident that her deep experience and expertise will help Crocs achieve its ambitious sustainability goals", stated Crocs’ CEO Andrew Rees.

"Consumers are keenly focused on purpose, inclusivity and a sustainable future, and Crocs has set clear ambitions to integrate sustainability into every part of their business and products. This is an iconic brand, and I am thrilled for the opportunity to apply my experience in creating more sustainable systems to Crocs, bringing collaborative and innovative solutions in an effort to ensure we meet our commitments and create a more sustainable and comfortable world for all", commented the newly-appointed Vice President, Global Head of Sustainability at Crocs.

The brand is already transitioning to incorporate sustainable materials across its iconic product lines and "remains focused on addressing its entire value chain".
