Not many industries are so obviously linked to nature as the outdoor industry. Corporate responsibility (CR) and sustainability have therefore become increasingly important in recent years. High-quality materials and equipment, whose form and function must meet special, often very demanding usage requirements, need to be durable and robust as well as not harmful to health and the environment. And this applies not only to the end products themselves; their production should and must also take place under fair and environmentally sound conditions. All these aspects are part of the company philosophy at LOWA and have been combined into a comprehensive CR strategy.
