Antje von Dewitz is the new Vice President of the European Outdoor Group (EOG)

January 27, 2020 – Antje von Dewitz was introduced as Vice President of the EOG at a press conference at the ISPO Munich 2020. In this new role, she would like to focus the association's activities more strongly on nature conservation and sustainable action. Antje von Dewitz has been part of the EOG with VAUDE for years, most recently she was also a board member of the group.

A future focus on nature conservation

"We have a major climate crisis out there, species are dying and only a few years left to ensure that young people have a future," she said at the beginning of her speech. The EOG must therefore ensure that its members act. Her vision is to create a profitable business "in which our members give back more than we take from nature and people". The first step towards this was the Sustainability Charter, which the majority of EOG brands have signed.


Antje von Dewitz:

»I am very pleased to have become Vice President of the EOG. It is for me a nice confirmation of my years of work on the board. And it is a confirmation that the association really takes sustainability seriously. It sets us apart from many other industry associations.«

As Vice President of the EOG, the association of European outdoor brands and retailers, Antje von Dewitz wants to continue to work on exactly this together with the more than 100 members. The EOG's aim is to be perceived as the voice of the European outdoor industry and to call for sustainable management. In the coming year, a plan of action is to be developed that measures sustainable action in order to develop the right changes and actions for the future.
