Sustainability at the core
Our Commitment to Sustainability: Preserving Nature, One Pair at a Time
As an outdoor brand rooted in Austria, we are deeply committed to protecting our natural environment. Here's how we’re making a difference with our sustainable practices:
CO2-Neutral Production
Since September 2022, our eyewear production has been carbon neutral, thanks to rigorous carbon reduction actions and verified offsetting projects by TÜV Austria. We have successfully halved our CO2 emissions over the past seven years, reducing them to approximately 2,000 tons annually. Our ongoing efforts aim to further cut these emissions through additional environmentally friendly policies.
Made in Austria: Embracing Short Production Routes
Our "MADE IN AUSTRIA" approach minimizes transportation distances, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. By producing locally, we ensure that our operations are efficient and environmentally responsible.
Green Electricity and Solar Integration
Our manufacturing facility in Linz, Austria, operates within a water protection area, adhering to stringent environmental regulations. We utilize climate-neutral electricity and have integrated photovoltaic installations and solar flowers into our operations. To further offset our CO2 emissions, we have invested in the construction of a hydraulic power plant in Colon, Honduras.
Durable and Repairable Products
We craft our products with longevity in mind, using premium materials and offering spare parts for up to six years. Our commitment to durability and reparability ensures that our eyewear not only lasts but also reduces waste and conserves resources.
