The VAUDE Vendor Management program was launched with the company’s first Vendor Meeting which included our strategic producers and suppliers on June 15, 2018 at the VAUDE headquarters in Obereisenbach.

While it is still a rarity in the real world of business, VAUDE has long been practicing it: the mountain sports gear outfitter from Southern Germany is focused on the common good. Rather than simply being committed to company profits, VAUDE takes on responsibility for environmentally friendly production and fair working conditions in the global supply chain.

VAUDE has received the GreenTec Award 2018, one of the world's most important environmental awards, for its innovative and sustainable outdoor gear. VAUDE received the GreenTec Award for the new – and thoroughly sustainable – Green Shape Core Collection, which relies on innovative natural materials and offers solutions to global problems such as those caused by microplastics.

At this year's Brand Performance Check by the Fair Wear Foundation, VAUDE achieved an audit rate of 100 % and a Benchmark Score of 94 % giving this mountain sports supplier from Tettnang the best rating of all member companies at the present time.
