Boards & More

"We continually try to optimize individual steps and chains of production with great care in order to find the best compromise for durability, quality, the ecosystem and our workforce, even if that makes our products a little more expensive.

In that respect, we hope that the concept of ´sustainability´ will itself be recycled and not lose its current vogue, like many other ´trends´ have in the past."

Till Eberle - CEO Boards&More GmbH

OUR STEPS

At Boards&More, sustainability is understood as a continuous process and part of the corporate strategy, not as a temporary project.

We move forward step by step, sometimes with larger, sometimes with smaller steps, the important thing is that we maintain the direction.

ENERGY AUDIT 2016

Since 2016, we have made sustainability an integral part of the Boards&More corporate strategy. The first step on our path was an energy audit for the main sites, which led to the implementation of initial Small but significant measures: green electricity, paper reduction, waste separation, optimization of light sources.

Boards&More Bikes since 2016

In the same year, we launched Boards&More's first bicycle campaign - all employees at the main locations were encouraged to cycle to work as often as possible. Result after the first 6 months: > 15.000 bike-km, which were of course therefore not done by car - keep up the good work Boards&More!

Packaging since 2018

In 2018, we at Boards&More started to make a conscious effort to reuse packaging and cardboard boxes in our warehouses. To date, this has prevented waste every year. Furthermore, by changing the product packaging, huge savings have been made on all products across all brands. In total, these changes currently save Boards&More 3 tons of paper/cardboard and 22 tons of plastic per year.

CO2 OFFSET since 2018

The collaboration with Climate Partner to CO2 offset the production and transport of Boards&More began in 2018. Duotone Kiteboarding Kites, Surfboards, Twin Tips and Click Bar, Duotone Windsurfing Sails and ION Water Wetsuits were among the first products whose CO2 footprint was offset by a climate protection project.

CLEAN UP DAYS since 2019

In 2019 the first Clean Beach Day initiated by Boards&More took place. In cooperation with ION clubs, team riders, agents and DBs we collected about 800kg of trash at beaches around the world. Clean Beach and Clean Trail Days have been held annually since then.

JOBRAD since 2019

Since 2019, the job bike offer has given employees the opportunity to lease a bike for their commute and leisure time at attractive conditions. Maintenance and insurance are also covered by the company.

CODE OF CONDUCT 2022

At Boards&More, we are currently working to establish ILO-compliant contracts with all of our suppliers and production facilities that specify minimum wages, exclude child labor, require certain insurance policies, and demand and promote the continuous improvement of social and environmental standards.

What's next

We are also working on making our largest sites climate-neutral by2028 , reducing employee mobility (travel to work and business trips) to a necessary minimum, and continuously improving our facility management (heat, electricity, water, waste).
