We are proud to announce the establishment of a transformative Climate Pact, bringing together prominent ski, snowboard, binding, and boot brands in a unified commitment to accelerate climate action within the winter sports industry

 

 

The winter sports industry is highly affected by climate change, but also acknowledges its role in the global environmental challenges through the products, value chains, activities and travels it generates. In fact, we, our customers, and the athletes we sponsor, all emit greenhouse gases.

 

By signing the Climate Pact, the industry publicly formalises its commitment to addressing climate change and achieving a net-zero carbon emissions future. For this purpose, we will work along the following five principles:

 

 

  • Focusing
    our efforts on the required greenhouse gas emission reductions, to keep global warming to 1.5°C, in line with the Paris Agreement.
  • Progressing
    our climate commitment by joining the UN Race to Zero Campaign before end of 2024, with validated climate targets through internationally verified climate initiatives.
  • Guiding
    the industry forward in collaborative action, where the more ‘climate advanced’ companies support and guide their less advanced peers.
  • Leveraging
    our influence to drive systemic change by advocating for progressive state, national and international climate policy.
  • Recognizing
    how our industry contributes to the climate crisis, and publicly addressing climate change as a top management priority for our business.

 

The Climate Pact has been co-developed with Snowsports Industries America (SIA) and unites the winter sports industry to address the climate crisis head-on and take decisive action to meet the goals set forth in the Paris Agreement. Through this collective initiative, we acknowledge the industry's vulnerability to global warming, using our brand recognition and industry organisations to propel systemic change.
