Fortune magazine cited Timberland repeatedly as a top 100 Best Company. As Timberland grew over the 1990s, additional factory capacity was added in Asia at sourced partners’ factories to complement “owned” manufacturing. Jeffrey Ball, “Six Products, Six Carbon Footprints,” The Wall Street Journal , October 6, 2008. Details Timberland's findings focused on the carbon footprint of footwear.
