We work to make our products more sustainable, designing for lasting durability and repairability, while continuously incorporating recycled materials to reduce our footprint.
We know that truly sustainable products are the ones designed to go the distance. We prioritize excellent quality, so your TUMI piece not only safeguards your precious cargo but also becomes a trusted travel companion throughout your journeys.
There are about 70 test methods that TUMI utilizes to ensure our products stand the test of time. With quality craftsmanship, we help protect what matters most: treasured belongings and the planet.
Bags and luggage are dropped from all angles to ensure ultimate durability.
We push our zippers to the limit—opening and closing thousands of times to ensure longevity.
Wheels are rolled on a rough-surfaced treadmill, testing the integrity of all bag parts, including handles and wheels.
Beyond plastic, we are expanding our use of recycled aluminum sourced from airplanes, soda cans and other sources.
We suddenly drop luggage while gripping the handle to test the durability of the telescoping system.
We test for variable weather by using extreme temperatures and humidity levels to assess material resilience.
Bags are placed in a large, enclosed spinning machine and tumbled over various metal baffles for 125 cycles

While only a small portion of our products are predominantly made with leather, we encourage our suppliers as well as our third-party vendors to focus their purchasing from tanneries that are Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries and have achieved a Gold rating with that organization.
*While many of our products include recycled materials in the lining, we are increasing the number of products that also incorporate recycled materials in other key components such as the outer shell and/or pull-handle tubes. In 2024, the weight of recycled materials incorporated in our products range from 1% to over 90%.
Together, we’re committed to protecting what matters most—our treasured belongings and the planet we love to explore.
To minimize greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations, we are committed to maintaining use of 100% renewable electricity across the retail stores, distribution facilities and offices that we operate. We achieve this through a combination of on-site solar generation, participation in green power programs and purchasing renewable energy certificates. Our distribution center in Vidalia, Georgia has on-site solar panels, which cover the majority of the facility’s electricity needs. We’ve also installed LED lighting, occupancy sensors and upgraded heating and cooling systems across our operations.
The majority of our greenhouse gas emissions stem from our global value chain, in particular from the materials we use in our products. We have set an ambitious target for ourselves to significantly reduce the emissions from our purchased goods and services category.
To formalize our commitment, we have set an ambitious target to reduce emissions from purchased goods and services by 52% per unit of gross profit by 2030, compared to our 2022 baseline. On Group-level, this goal has been validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative.
In order to reduce waste, we have defined sustainable packaging principles across the organization: reduce material use, use reusable and recyclable packaging and prioritize more sustainable materials where possible. In 2025, we will begin rolling these out across our operations. To formalize our commitment, we have set an ambitious target to reduce emissions from purchased goods and services by 52% per unit of gross profit by 2030, compared to our 2022 baseline. On Group-level, this goal has been validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative.
As a 1% for the Planet partner, TUMI donates 1% of sales from the 19 Degree Collection in Polycarbonate to verified environmental nonprofits within the organization’s global network—supporting non-profits that help protect and preserve the world we call home.To formalize our commitment, we have set an ambitious target to reduce emissions from purchased goods and services by 52% per unit of gross profit by 2030, compared to our 2022 baseline.

It is the dedication of our people that allows us to make a difference. We empower our employees and expect our suppliers to meet our high standards.
We successfully achieved our goal of providing professional development opportunities to all employees by the end of 2024—a year ahead of schedule—and remain committed to sustaining this progress.
