collaborative action initiative under the umbrella of our Climate
Action Programme.
The project exploits the fact that, while supply chains are global and diverse,
many outdoor companies are sharing suppliers. By participating in this project,
organisations have the opportunity to:
- collaboratively engage their shared suppliers,
- engage in peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and
- take real action towards the decarbonisation of the industry.

*Yes
4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?
*Yes
4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.
*For calculation our products, we use HIGG MSI Data in combination with a for us tailored logistic calculator by Climater Partner. (Database GABI, ecoinvent, GEMIS)
