THE JOURNEY TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
As outdoor industry members and mountain enthusiasts, we are trully aware of the industrial impacts on our environment, especially in winter, with less and less snow.
Facing this observation, we propose to our partners to take the lead on a changing market, to set an example, with a more sustainable approach.
