Deckers' Board of Directors, through its Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee (Corporate Governance Committee), comprised of four independent directors, oversees our ESG strategy. Our Board of Directors has ultimate oversight over all sustainability initiatives, strategies, and programs, including climate change, human rights, community engagement, charitable giving, DEI and economic, social, and environmental risks. The Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors regularly receive updates on the status of our ESG program. In addition, the Audit & Risk Management Committee (Audit Committee) of the Board periodically reviews risk management, including climate-related risks and policies to ensure a consistent corporate strategy. The Board of Directors considers whether the ESG program adequately identifies material risks in a timely fashion, implements appropriate responsive risk management strategies, and transmits necessary information with respect to material risks within the organization. Our Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) is responsible for the day-to-day management of our ESG program. The program's execution is driven by our leadership team and various cross-functional teams including our ethical sourcing, facilities, distribution centers, restricted substances, brands, innovation, materials, and supply chain teams. [...] All political activities on behalf of Deckers must be initiated or approved in advance by our Legal Team. Specifically, during the reporting period and in the past five fiscal years, we have not made any corporate contributions to political candidates, parties, or committees; we have not made any contributions or payments to 527 groups such as governors associations and super PACs; we have not made any independent political expenditures in support of or opposition to any campaign; we have not made any contributions or payments to other tax-exempt organizations, such as 501(c)(4)s, that may use funds for political purposes; and we have not made any expenditures or payments to influence the outcome of ballot measures. We disclose any trade association memberships where our annual dues/fees exceed $50,000; further beginning in FY26, no portion of such dues may be used for political activities.
