  • ANNUAL REPORT 1 • Among Our Top Priorities Is to Further Advance and Scale Our Digital Capabilities and Footprint
    Dear Stockholders, As we reflect on 2020 and the many challenges it brought, we are reminded of enduring spirit. We saw this in our associates across the Fossil organization, we saw this in first responders and essential workers on the front lines, and we saw this in our local communities as people around the world came together to navigate a global pandemic. We are proud of our teams and grateful to them for working through the near-term operational challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also remaining focused on our long-term strategic priorities. Although the pandemic disrupted our business in 2020, it also provided an opportunity for us to lean into our digital capabilities and allowed us to accelerate our path to becoming a digitally-led organization. When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged and government-mandated lockdowns took effect, we acted quickly to protect our employees, partners and communities globally, mitigate business disruption and strengthen our financial position. We also pivoted to service significantly higher demand levels on our e-commerce websites. We did this by leveraging the digital capabilities we have been building for the past two years, implementing a new global salesforce.com e-commerce platform and investing in new digital tools and resources. As a result, in 2020, global sales generated by our digital channels doubled to 40% from 20% in 2019. In 2020, we also made notable progress within our New World Fossil 2.0 program, which includes streamlining the organization and generating greater efficiency in our processes and work streams. We expanded the size of the program by $50 million to a total of $250 million in efficiencies over a three-year period from 2019 to 2021.
