Volcom is proud to announce that the newly formed firm, The Underswell, will serve as the brand’s Sustainability Advisor helping to accelerate our journey to sustainability. Founded by former Volcom Vice President of Sustainability, Derek Sabori, The Underswell will coordinate Volcom’s global sustainability efforts with a strong focus on the recently announced 2020 Sustainability Targets and the roadmap developed to help meet them.

Having spent more than 19 years working at Volcom, with the last 6 of those serving as the Vice President and/or Sr. Director of Sustainability, Derek is branching out to pursue a new challenge that takes his passion for sustainability beyond Volcom, to help more groups, organizations and personalities on their own journeys to sustainability.

It’s up to us now, as a company to truly adopt and embrace sustainability as a tenant of our business, as a core value, and as a brand differentiating opportunity. I’m looking forward to the further strengthening of what we will continue to call our New Future program, and welcome Derek in his new role and wish him the best as he starts a new chapter. –Todd Hymel, Volcom CEO
