Supporting nature conservation projects

In Tettnang-Obereisenbach we are renaturalizing a stream. We also support external biodiversity conservation projects.

Our commitment to biodiversity

One of the measures included in VAUDE’s biodiversity concept at the Tettnang-Obereisenbach location is the restoration and renaturlization of a stream which flows through the grounds. This is being done to maintain the flow of the water, and by nurturing and developing approximately 175 meters of the riparian buffer next to the stream, to create habitats for a specific range of species.

The alder groves on the embankment and at the stream were thinned, hedges on the side of the corridor were planted to act as a shield, and willow trees were coppiced on the slope and next to the stream. In addition, rapidly spreading neophytes (Indian Balsam) are regularly removed, which would otherwise crowd out other native plants.

Cooperation with WWF and EOCA

VAUDE is committed to the conservation of biodiversity both on and off its premises, supporting various external projects as well. This is one reason that VAUDE, as a partner of "WWF Germany", supports a WWF project in the Caucasus, one of the world's most valuable biodiversity "hot spots".

The "European Outdoor Conservation Association" (EOCA) is the conservation organization of the European outdoor industry. Every year it bestows generous awards for conservation projects. Several conservation projects supported by VAUDE have already been honored by the EOCA, receiving 100% of the prize money for their ventures:


  • 2008 - A trans-border hiking trail was set up in the Shebenik-Jablanica Mountains in Albania and Macedonia by the EuroNatur Foundation 
  • In 2009 - A brown bear protection campaign was established in the Cantabrian Mountains of Spain by the EuroNatur Foundation
  • 2013 - A Mountain Bike Trail was created in Transylvania, Romania by the Adept Foundation 


Jan Lorch (Member and Sustainability Officer at VAUDE Management Committee, Chief Sales Officer) is on the board of the "European Outdoor Conservation Association" (EOCA). On our website we report on the VAUDE EOCA projects.
