Salomon wants to achieve this by 2030
Marie-Laure Piednoir, Global Sustainability & Impact Director at Salomon, explains to the progress: “We are on a journey of transformation. This takes time, but we are determined to design a better future for our company, our industry and our communities.” How much time this takes is shown by the long -term goals. In order to measure progress, Salomon divides the products into three sustainability categories based on the areas of sourcing, repairability and recyclability. Level 1 falls all products that are leading in the areas. Level 2 contains all products in which Ecodesign has been achieved. The rest is summarized in level 3, the goal is that by 2030 all articles in the three areas must be sorted into the first two levels. Stand now it is only 12%. The number is driven by the Apparel & Accessories product area, where 34% of the articles fall into the target. In the case of shoes, the proportion of products with desirable ecodesign with 10% is slightly below average. There is still a lot to do with sourcing until 2030. Salomon wants to ensure by the end of the decade that 100% of the relevant raw materials are recycled, recyclable or bio -based. In 2024 the proportion was 12%.
Salomon is on the right track in the elimination of fluorinated materials such as PFC, Pfoa and Pfas from the production of the membrane. At the end of 2024, 94% of the Salomon PFAS-free products were made. The company has already reached the goal when checking the Tier 1-Supplier on the use of the materials using the material Compliance Policy and the Restricted Substance List. In addition, 99% of the products were already PVC-free in 2024.
