Last year, Haglöfs set a climate target to halve its carbon emissions in ten years. A boom in interest in outdoor activity during 2021 contributed to record sales and the most successful year for Haglöfs in a decade. The growth in sales and therefore production makes it more challenging for the company to reach its climate commitment.
Haglöfs’ sales increased by 26 percent during the first half of 2021, compared to the same period last year. The strong performance is related to well-received product lines and an overall higher demand for high-quality outdoor equipment.
At Haglöfs, being a global citizen and taking responsibility for their supply chain is a high priority. The work Haglöfs carried out to reduce the vulnerability of workers amid the challenges of 2020 resulted in them achieving Fair Wear Leader status.
Haglöfs joins the growing number of companies referring to themselves as “climate neutral” as they launch their new climate strategy: to reduce their emissions by 50% over the next 10 years and reach net zero by 2030, while taking full responsibility for the remaining emissions along the way.
Haglöfs continues to push back against the excessive consumption driven by exaggerated discounting of Black Friday with their Green Friday initiative – this year, using the day to launch a new second hand concept – Haglöfs Restored.
The Swedish outdoor company will be closing its brand stores during the first strike so that all employees can take part.
The Haglöfs Leftover Sleeping bag looks different, because it is different. It's made from leftovers: hence its random colors. Pieces of high-performance material that, instead of being piled on to the world’s growing waste problem, have been turned into 105 comfortable sleeping bags - offering a great night's sleep on any outdoor adventure.
The Grym Evo Jacket is one of the key pieces from Haglöfs’ forthcoming SS19 season. It’s a tough and technical 3-layer shell jacket, built with sustainability in mind. It's perfect for trekking activities and features everything you'll need for a trip deep into the wilderness.
Haglöfs is known for pushing boundaries and bringing its own brand of innovation to the outdoor industry for more than a century. For its FW19 collection, the company has chosen to pay tribute to its heritage, launching a collection that fuses groundbreaking outdoor technology with a modern take on a traditional style of Swedish folk art called kurbits.
Haglöfs' two freeride product families, Khione and Nengal, have been developed and expanded with the introduction of the Khione 3L PROOF™ Jacket and Pant, and the Nengal 3L PROOF™ Parka and Pant. Each garment is made with Haglöfs’ own high-performance, fluorocarbon-free PROOF™ ECO material, and designed to bring out the best of your ability while tackling any terrain.
Haglöfs, the only Nordic outdoor brand currently member of Fair Wear Foundation, has after several years of intensive work been awarded with ‘Leader’ status – the highest member category available.
Haglöfs has today released its annual Sustainability Report. In it, the Swedish outdoor gear manufacturer describes its extensive sustainability efforts in 2017 - relating to its products, the production of them, the people who work with them, and our planet.
They’re very small. Almost unseen by the naked eye. However, microplastics have started to clog ecosystems all around the world. Our oceans will soon likely have more plastic in them than fish. Take a look at what we’re doing to help address this here.
Haglöfs has been a member of Fair Wear Foundation since 2012 and is today the only Nordic outdoor brand on the member list.
Haglöfs have reinforced their commitment to fluorocarbon-free treatments on their products by vowing to the complete transition to more environmentally friendly substances by year 2020.
There is no such thing as a sustainable outdoor brand. No matter how good our intentions are, we always leave a footprint. It could be from the chemical composition of a material, the working conditions in a factory or the effect production and transport have on the climate.
Let us explain.
Before a product ends up in the store, it goes through many processes that all leave a footprint. For
Man-made fabrics release microplastics when washed, potentially causing pollution of the oceans. While searching for a permanent solution to the problem, Swedish outdoor company Haglöfs now offer a special washing bag that catches up to 99% of the microplastics originating from synthetic clothing.
Our long-term sustainability goals are to minimize the impact on people and planet while at the same time allowing and inspiring people to get out there to beat the elements. We realize that the road to a sustainable future is paved with challenges since all our products make an impression on this fantastic planet we live on. Hard work, wise decisions as well as influencing our different sta
In 2008 Haglöfs officially built its CSR and sustainability work into the centre of its development strategy and in recent years Haglöfs has developed into one of the world's leading outdoor companies in the area of sustainability. Now the company takes another step forward by appointing Eva Mullins as new Sustainability Manager.
Eva Mullins, 37, has worked for Haglöfs since 2008, and comes
Everyone sweats, and bodies and clothing inevitably start to smell from the effort of leading an active lifestyle. The reason for this is that bacteria, which live naturally on our skin, metabolize our sweat and it is this process that creates a bad odor. For a long time, anti-bacterial - or, in other words, bacteria-killing - technologies were the only solution used to counteract bad odors and in
We come from Sweden, a country of extreme weather and extensive landscape. A place where the outdoors isn’t just a far off place, it’s in the fabric of our culture and community. We are committed to creating gear that will support anyone, anywhere in their own outdoor adventure. We were founded in 1914 by Wiktor Haglöf, a visionary with a dream and a toolbox. Our story has evolved from humble beginnings, and we’ve ventured into new territory, creating technical designs that set a new standard in craftsmanship.
At Haglöfs, we are Outsiders by Nature. We draw outside the lines, think outside the box, and live outside our comfort zones. We encourage exploration both physically and mentally through embracing the outdoors. We believe that everyone can experience the outdoors, and do all we can to ensure that it will still be there for future generations to explore.
