Environmental Protection

For years, Vaude has been actively involved in environmental protection and sustainable development, working quietly but diligently behind the scenes. Why? It runs in their blood: many Vaude-ers are avid outdoor men and women. Voluntarily investing their professional energy in a continual optimization of processes and resources comes naturally to them. Because the development of one’s own ideals is actively supported at Vaude, superior products emerge with ever smaller ecological footprints.

They recognize their role as an environmental trendsetter in the outdoor market and are enthusiastic about filling it. This achievement is especially remarkable as Vaude is operating as one of the few remaining true mid-sized family businesses in the market, in a competitive environment dominated by financially strong capital investors.

Environmental protection has a strong foothold in the company’s founding principles and is a significant component in the company’s values, its vision, as well as in their tangible environmental policy. Vaude's goal: By 2015 to objectively become Europe’s most environmentally friendly outdoor supplier. The Vaude ecosystem is based on the Vaude sustainability philosophy. It includes the entire life cycle of their products as well as their business decisions.
