About VAUDEOur Memberships

Stronger together

Together we can achieve more - in terms of sustainability as well. Therefore, we have joined a number of initiatives, associations and organizations.

Involvement in associations and initiatives

Our products’ manufacturing should be as environmentally friendly and as socially sustainable as possible. The majority of our products are manufactured in the supply chain where we, at times, have very little influence with regard to their actions. Only by working together with other outdoor and textile manufacturers, and in association with strong initiatives can we really achieve anything. Therefore, we have voluntarily joined several organizations.

The following table provides an overview of the initiatives, charters and principles that guide our work. 


GRI:   G4-15

Memberships in associations

In addition to being involved in various initiatives, VAUDE is also a member of a number of associations. In many of these, we also hold executive management positions, in others we participate in projects or work on committees.
