Oberalp Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability strategy

Oberalp has set out a group sustainability strategy that focuses on three main areas: fair working conditions, circularity, and cutting emissions. It says sustainability should guide everyday choices, not just long-term plans. The company also says it uses policies, data, tools, and systems to support this work across the group. This shows that sustainability is built into its management approach rather than treated as a one-off project.

Works on circular product design

The company says it is increasing the use of circular design in products and processes. In plain terms, circular design means making items so they last longer, use fewer new resources, and are easier to repair, reuse, or recycle. Oberalp has also discussed take-back, repair, rental, and resale ideas as part of its circularity work. This suggests it is trying to reduce waste across the product life cycle.

Tracks emissions and offsets some

Oberalp says it is working to reduce climate impact in line with the Paris Agreement, the global climate deal aimed at limiting warming. It reports that it has a plan to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. In related reporting, the group also says some printed products and business flights were offset, meaning emissions were balanced by paying for projects meant to reduce or remove carbon elsewhere.

Shares sustainability reports

Oberalp says it publishes sustainability reports and downloads so people can review its progress. It presents transparency as part of its approach and invites questions to its sustainability team. This is useful because it gives readers a place to look for more detail on goals, actions, and results, even though the level of third-party verification in the available material is limited.

Supports fair working conditions

The company says one of its priorities is the wellbeing of the people who make its products, not only its own staff. Good On You also notes that Wild Country, which is owned by Oberalp Group, has good supplier monitoring policies and that most of its final production stage is certified by BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative, a code of conduct for social standards) and Fair Wear Foundation, which works on labour conditions in garment supply chains.
