Climate change is advancing – extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting. The world for which our outdoor products are designed is changing. If we want to preserve nature, the place where we love to spend our time and which forms the basis of our lives, we need to take action – both together and individually.
As a retailer with a product range that is often energy-intensive to manufacture, we therefore see contributing to climate protection as our responsibility.
In 2024, we calculated the scale of our direct and indirect emissions as a company for the first time. We conducted our carbon footprint analysis in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology, which serves as an international benchmark for measuring the greenhouse gas emissions of companies and other organisations. In accordance with this methodology, we have divided our emissions into three categories: Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
We are a committed member of the STS 2030 initiative, which aims to bring the Swiss textile and clothing sector in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part of this, we have committed to setting climate targets that comply with the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative). This means that we want to reduce our greenhouse gases in line with the Paris climate targets. Additionally, it ensures that we not only meet the mandatory requirements of Swiss law (Klima und Innovationsgesetz, KIG – Climate and Innovation Act), but also underpin our climate commitment with a science-based level of ambition.
Like all our other sustainability efforts, our approach to climate change is constantly evolving; we and our partners are always learning. And we want to take you with us on our journey to net zero by providing regular updates on our ambitions, progress and any hurdles we’re encountering.
