Stronger together

The manufacturing of our products should be as environmentally friendly and as socially sustainable as possible. The majority of our products are manufactured in the supply chain where as one individual company, we have limited influence over their actions. Only by working together with other outdoor and textile manufacturers, and in association with strong initiatives, can we really achieve much more on many issues. Therefore, we have voluntarily joined several organizations.

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, organizations and associations that guide our work.
