Amer Sports actively supports achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the purpose of which is to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for everyone.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for companies to contribute to a sustainable future. We have defined our key SDGs, which are aligned with our sustainability ambition and strategy and are incorporated into our business operations and decision-making processes.

For us, SDGs 3, 8, 12 and 13 are the most material and represent the areas where we can have the greatest positive impact.

Goal 3: Promoting health and well-being
Promoting good health and well-being creates a solid foundation for us at Amer Sports, as we, together with our brands, promote healthy and active lifestyles and encourage people to enjoy sports. This goal aims to help people to live longer, healthier lives and enjoy better mental health and well-being.
 
By promoting healthy and active lifestyles, we can support everyone who loves sports in reaching their own wellness goals through products that fuel better performance and encourage people to have fun. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the physical and mental well-being of people is essential to sustainable development.
SDG 3 Good health and well-being
Goal 8: Advancing sustainable employment and economic growth through ethical labor standards
We promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, alongside full, productive employment, and decent work for all. We contribute to this goal by creating jobs and promoting economic growth in the communities we operate in.

We support workers’ rights and ensure that all employees have access to fair and decent working conditions that protect their human rights. We have a complex supply chain, and we actively cooperate with our partners to ensure fair labor practices across that chain.
UN SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth
Goal 12: Dedicated to sustainable production and supporting responsible consumption
As a Group, we are dedicated to implementing sustainable production methods, reducing waste and pollution, and promoting the use of environmentally friendly materials in our products. This goal is important to us because it relates to the environmental impact of our production and distribution processes, as well as the impact of the materials themselves. We have implemented our circular economy principles through several active initiatives.
UN SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production
Goal 13: Taking action on climate change and reducing our carbon footprint
We focus on fighting climate change and mitigating its impacts. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change, and strengthening education and awareness. We continuously strive to reduce the environmental impact of our Group’s operations and to reduce our carbon footprint.
