We are a global company, and our culture comprises many nationalities and backgrounds: we are inherently diverse. We employ approximately 11,500 full-time equivalent employees in more than 40 countries.
The Golden Rule – "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" – influences everything we do – inspiring our relationships across the organization, reminding us that differences should be embraced and respected.
OUR GOALS & 2025 PROGRESS
Our people are the driving force behind our business and sustainability efforts. We have reached our goal of providing professional development opportunities to all employees by the end of 2024 – a year ahead of schedule.
Our 2025 efforts continued to enhance the accessibility and impact of development opportunities for employees wherever they work. Our initiatives centred on upskilling employees and teams to strengthen capability, connection, and understanding of how each role contributes to achieving our 2030 vision.
We are a global brand, and our culture comprises many nationalities and backgrounds. We strive to make sure that Samsonite is a welcoming place and that we create a workplace environment and business culture that helps our teams grow and thrive together.
Our bi-annual Culture & Inclusion Survey provides valuable perspectives from our teams. Guided by this feedback, we are committed to prioritizing innovation, recognition, professional development, and teamwork as key areas of ongoing growth.
Samsonite has been trading for over 115 years and some of our supplier relationships go back decades. As we’ve grown, they’ve grown; and as we have looked more closely at issues like workers’ welfare and working conditions, they have come on the journey with us.
The Charter incorporates ten principles that we and our partners commit to respect, including prohibiting the use of child labor, ensuring working hours are reasonable, working conditions are safe and hygienic, and environmental impact is minimized as far as possible. All suppliers must meet or exceed our standards as a critical baseline, and we expect them to be engaged in a process of continuous improvement. We also expect our suppliers to cascade the requirements of our Ethical Charter down to their own suppliers.
All finished goods and some of our raw materials and components suppliers are enrolled onto Samsonite Group’s Global Social Compliance Program – which we updated in 2024 – to support them in upholding and implementing the Charter principles through regular audits and monitoring.
This year, as part of our new strategic approach, we tailored our corporate giving focus for our core brands – Samsonite, TUMI and American Tourister – in line with their respective global sustainability positioning, and our sustainability strategy. Our brand teams are empowered to choose to support not-for-profit partners whose missions align with these themes through three main activities: donating funds, in-kind product donations and employee volunteering.
TUMI donates 1% of the sales from the 19 Degree collection in polycarbonate to partners whose work focuses on protecting rainforests and marine ecosystems.
Samsonite and American Tourister began the process of identifying new global partners in 2025.
TUMI and Jocotoco Foundation
TUMI is proud to support Jocotoco Foundation through an unrestricted contribution — meaning the charity can use funds in a more agile way to support a variety of urgent conservation activities. In 2025, Jocotoco’s efforts across the world included saving 13,638 acres of tropical forests and planting 73,862 tropical native plants, restoring 586 acres of wildlife habitat.
TUMI and Seatrees
TUMI is also proud to support Seatrees, a non-profit born from surf culture that works to protect and restore vital ocean and coastal ecosystems. TUMI’s funds contribute to activities like restoring 6,250 square feet of seagrass in Spain, revitalizing 6,250 square feet of coastal watershed in Maui, and planting 250 coral fragments in Indonesia.
At Samsonite Group transparency is important to us. Since 2016, we have been reporting on our sustainability efforts and continue to do so today.
