Our Responsibility
Our way of life
Alpinism is more than just how we climb; it is about our entire approach, how we choose to live. Our values of simplicity, efficiency, honesty, self-responsibility; a deep respect for the mountains and for others connect us to other Alpinists, and to the world we climb, live and work in.
The respect and reverence we have for each other as well as our natural playground is fundamental to Alpinism. Minimising our impact and our ethics matter. We’re on a journey to minimise that impact and enhance our world, leaving it in a better place than today for future generations.
Our way forward
Our 2024 Impact and Responsibility report presents an honest overview of our current initiatives and the strides we've made in recent years. As a company dedicated to designing and manufacturing gear for mountain enthusiasts, we recognise the visible effects of climate change on these landscapes. Understanding our greenhouse gas footprint and finding sustainable material choices are vital in our commitment to preserving these wild spaces for future generations. Additionally, we emphasise the importance of fair and safe working conditions within our supply chain, ensuring compliance with the Fair Wear Code of Labour Practices.
While we take pride in our progress, we are also aware of the ongoing challenges we face. We invite you to explore the full report to gain deeper insights into our efforts for a more responsible future.
