Kathmandu takes their social and environmental responsibility seriously. They passionately believe in the importance of sustainable product development and running an ethical business while striving to minimise their environmental impact and look for ways to contribute to the broader community.
Following a comprehensive review done by Sustainability Partners, Kathmandu have created a five-year plan: Best for the World. The plan consists of seven sustainability goals to be achieved in the next five years. For their carbon goals, Kathmandu has set a goal to achieve net zero environmental harm from their business which includes net zero carbon goal by 2025.
