Long-term initiative will help protect over four million linear feet of global waterways in 2011
02.28.2011 – (Goleta, Calif.) –Throughout 2011, Teva® (a division of Deckers Outdoor Corporation, NASDAQGS: DECK) will continue its commitment to clean water through a new initiative called "Pair for A Foot." The program will help protect one linear foot of global waterways for every pair of Teva shoes and sandals sold in 2011 through donations to clean water non-profits including the Ocean Conservancy and longtime partner Waterkeeper Alliance. Teva estimates "Pair for a Foot" will help preserve 4.3 million feet of waterways in 2011.

"The Teva brand was born on the water and we feel a strong obligation to help protect our most precious natural resource," says Joel Heath,
Teva Global Marketing Director. "We’re proud to support organizations that do vital work to protect water for the environment."

Last year, Teva donated $100,000 to the Waterkeeper Alliance’s "Save Our Gulf" initiative, a fundraising and awareness campaign fighting to protect the Gulf Coast’s communities and environment from the longterm devastating impacts of the BP oil disaster. The emergency donation from Teva assisted in the effort to save marine life, wildlife, beaches and waterways that are relied upon for both fishing and recreation.
"Teva has been a terrific corporate partner for Waterkeeper Alliance and we’re thrilled about the Pair for a Foot campaign, both from a
fundraising and an awareness standpoint," states Marc Yaggi, program director for Waterkeeper Alliance.

The "Pair for a Foot" program (www.teva.com/cleanwater) extends
Teva’s commitment to clean water and its partnership with Waterkeeper through 2011 and beyond. "Over the years, we have participated in
numerous community river clean-ups with local Waterkeeper chapters.

We are excited to be making a deeper, long-term commitment to water with this initiative," says Heath.

"We look forward to working with Teva to promote the healthy oceans and waterways that are the heart of our mission," says Vikki Spruill,
President of Ocean Conservancy.
