Sustainable management makes companies fit for the future. It’s a pivotal approach to solving the problems created when we cross the boundaries of what our planet can take. It is therefore important that as many companies as possible engage in environmentally friendly and fair operations.
VAUDE has made environmentally friendly and fair business practices its core competency and has been working consistently for over a decade to transform the company holistically and systematically. We are also passing on this knowledge base and our experience.

»The mission of the VAUDE Academy is to propagate sustainable business practices beyond VAUDE.«
We are designing the VAUDE Academy as a social business. By this we mean a business that has set itself the goal of solving social or ecological challenges using economic means. The focus is on social benefits rather than simply maximizing financial gain. Profits generated are reinvested into the business itself.
With regard to the VAUDE Academy, this means that we use the fees we receive for the work we do to support other businesses and share our expertise to finance and further expand our educational programs for schools, universities, voluntary and non-profit associations and initiatives.
The establishment of the VAUDE Academy is being supported by the German Federal Foundation for the Environment in a two-year funding project starting in late May 2020. Our goal is to ensure that the VAUDE Academy continues to operate on a cost-covering basis after the funding period has passed.
