Winter Outdoor Sports Industry Climate Pact

Winter sports are at the front line of climate change - first affected and in the spotlight for the foreseeable future. We are also a part of the problem - our products, value chains, activities and travel. We, our customers, and the athletes we sponsor all emit greenhouse gases.
As a winter outdoor industry, we are publicly formalizing our commitment and building unity with our peers to address climate change and signal our commitment to a net-zero-carbon emissions future.
We will work along the following five principles:
  • Focusing
    all our efforts on the required greenhouse gas emission reductions, to keep global warming to 1.5°C, in line with the Paris Agreement.
  • Progressing
    our climate efforts by joining the UN Race to Zero Campaign before the end of 2024, with validated climate targets through internationally verified climate initiatives.
  • Guiding
    the industry forward in a joint effort where the more ‘climate advanced’ companies support and guide their less advanced peers.
  • Leveraging
    our influence to drive systemic change by advocating for state, national, and international climate policy.
  • Recognizing
    how our industry contributes to the climate crisis, and publicly addressing climate change as a top management priority for our business.

Unite the Industry.
