Ethics & Charity

Ethically Friendly Feet

If you're concerned about worker welfare or environmental harm during the production of Ipanema flip flops, don't be. All those at Ipanema are committed to producing ethical flip flops.

Here's how:

• 99% of any residues and surplus material in the production process is recycled.
• All Ipanema production facilities are light, clean and safe environments.
• Employees receive excellent support, including medical care, family planning education and recreational facilities.
• Ipanema don't employ anyone under 16 years old.
• Smaller, unregulated companies are not subcontracted for production.

When your Ipanema flip flops have finally flopped, the moulded, expanded PVC is recyclable.

All materials used are 100 % synthetic, meaning that Ipanema flip flops are ideal for everyone, including vegetarians.
