European Outdoor Group (EOG) and the Sustainability Working Group

In October 2008, the European Outdoor Group formed the Sustainability Working Group, a consortium of European-based outdoor brands dedicated to providing relevant insight and solutions to sustainability challenges facing the outdoor industry and its global stakeholders. Incorporating a comprehensive lifecycle perspective, the Sustainability Working Group's key areas of focus are:

• Improving the ecological / environmental impact of the industry
• Ensuring the industry is up-to-date on relevant environmental and health and safety legislation as it relates to products and services
• Maintaining dialogue with relevant stakeholders
• Facilitating facts-based communication of sustainability credentials, including review of certification and labeling schemes
• Providing common positions on sustainability topics for the (EU) Outdoor Industry
