Vaude has fully integrated sustainability into its corporate strategy, with the management steering it annually in a combined top-down and bottom-up process and an interdisciplinary sustainability team coordinating all measures. The company pursues science-based climate targets (SBTi), such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and Net Zero by 2040, and implements these through concrete projects such as switching to renewable energy, using recycled materials and establishing circular business models. Transparency through external audits (e.g. EMAS, Fair Wear), annual sustainability reports and the active involvement of employees ensure consistent implementation and sustainable success.
