In addition to involvement in various initiatives, VAUDE is also a member of a number of associations and organizations. We hold leadership positions in numerous associations while we participate in projects or work in joint ventures with many others. However, we do not make financial resources available far beyond the usual membership fees for any organizations.
The following table provides an overview of the initiatives, charters and principles that guide our work.
