Amer Sports’ sustainability strategy is built on the principles of continuous improvement, transparency, and accountability.To support its effective implementation, we have a well-defined governance structure.

Our sustainability governance framework enables us to drive progress on key sustainability priorities while ensuring alignment with the Amer Sports’ overall strategy. It provides a foundation for incorporating economic, social, and environmental aspects into our decision-making processes, helping us work towards our sustainability targets.

The Board of Directors supports our sustainability journey and helps us to achieve our targets as a Group. The Amer Sports Board of Directors consists of 11 people, three women (27%), and eight men (73%). The share of the independent Board members is 36%. The Board signs off our Sustainability Report.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is a Board Committee which reviews Amer Sports actions in furtherance of sustainability, including considering the impact of our procedures and processes on employees, citizens, communities, and sustainability program.The Committee also reviews the controls, and disclosures, including sustainability risk management, and approves the sustainability report.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of three members: Ding Shizong (Chairman of the Board), Ling Xiong, and Bruno Sälzer, who is and independent and non-executive member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Global Leadership Team oversees the sustainability strategy’s direction, implementation, performance, reporting, and resource allocation. The Global Leadership Team manages material sustainability topics and reviews with the sustainability scorecard four times per year, a practice adopted at the beginning of 2024.
