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.

To reach these goals the United Nations asks everyone to do their part, including companies and private citizens. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for companies to achieve 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: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Promoting good health and wellbeing creates a solid foundation for us at Amer Sports, as we and our brands promote healthy and active lifestyles in various ways, encouraging people to enjoy sports.
This way we can support everyone who loves sports in reaching their own wellbeing goals through products that fuel better performance and encourage fun.
SDG 3 Good health and well-being
Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth
The aim of SDG 8 is to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.
Amer Sports employs over 10,000 people and operates in 38 countries. We support workers’ rights and ensure that all employees have access to fair and decent working conditions. 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: Responsible consumption and production
We at Amer Sports 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 materials themselves. We have implemented our Circular Economy Principles through several active initiatives.
UN SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production
Goal 13: Climate action
We are committed to mitigating climate change and its impacts. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change, and strengthening education and awareness on the issue. We continuously strive to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and to reduce our carbon footprint.
