Responsibility for People and Nature

As a modern family-run company and Europe’s environmentally friendly outdoor supplier, Vaude takes its social and environmental responsibility very seriously. They breathe life into this maxim in all three of their  business segments: Mountain Sports, Bike Sports and Packs ‘n Bags.

They have been working with the strict environmental bluesign® standard since 2001, which controls the entire textile manufacturing chain. They were also the first Outdoor company to receive EMAS certification. They will also continue to improve our environmental performance in the future and have set themselves the goal of gradually transforming the entire product palette so that it is manufactured according to the highest standards of environmental compatibility. They are working to make the world a better place.

The brand VAUDE

Vaude stands for respect in all its interaction with others and the nature around us. They have set our sight on becoming Europe’s most environmentally friendly outdoor brand, so that sportsmen and women of today, and those to come can enjoy nature to the fullest. They are pioneers in this way, challenging convention and pushing the limits of the possible.

Vaude’s roots are in mountain sports. The passion they experience on the ascent and the peace they find at the top are what drive them. Without the mountains, Vaude wouldn’t be what it is today. It is their foundation, their brand symbol, and it stands for the high expectations we place on themselves as a company and on their products.

Vaude Company Values

Respectful Interaction

Vaude is mindful in its dealings with people and the environment. Due to their constant inner reflection and unwavering idealism, they are quick and courageous to seek out contact with contemporary subjects and explore their own potential – leading to stories worthwhile in their making.

Ecological Intelligence

Vaude is a brand with a conscience, and a company with a certified, high degree of environmental awareness. Their pledge of sustainability is authentic – it can be seen in their ecological past and future, in their products’ long-lasting durability, and in the standards they adhere to for all Green Shape products.

The right product

Vaude does not claim to make everything. But they do claim that everything they make, they make it right. Right according to toughest standards, and just right for their target groups. Right in terms of both price and performance. Right for the times and right for the environment.

Mountain Motif

Vaude’s roots are in mountain sports and they never forget where they came from. Passion and performance, enjoyment and nature – without the mountain, Vaude wouldn’t be what it is today. It is their foundation and their brand symbol.

Enterprise as Family

Vaude is a family enterprise involving 1300 “relatives”. Sharing common values and a lively team spirit, they  extend an open invitation to all outdoor fans to come join our happy family.

Free Thinkers and Forerunners

Vaude is open-minded, inquisitive and innovative. They tick, think and act differently than the rest. A bit brazen (but never reckless) is their take on forging new paths as pioneers, challenging convention and pushing the limits of the possible.

Drive

Vaude is pressing forward, fuelled by two diverse poles of energy: our passion, love of life and unbridled motivation is balanced by an inner peacefulness, a casual approach and a steady patience – where there’s a will, there’s also a way.

Retail Friendship

Vaude’s relationship to retail is close and accessible, fair and faithful, direct and very personal. This makes Vaude much more than just a partner for retail trade. Offering high supply availability, an elaborate range of products and above all: success in retail.
