A signed agreement to align with the European Outdoor Group (EOG) Sustainability Charter is a requirement for membership in SOG – all active members have signed and it is part of the membership onboarding process. The charter rests on the 10 UN Global Compact principles and outlines a journey towards a more sustainable outdoor industry in three stages.
Launched in 2016, the EOG Sustainability Charter was developed by the EOG CSR and Sustainability Council, in partnership with key external stakeholders. The Sustainability Charter outlines the European Outdoor Group’s recommendations for good corporate citizenship and responsibility and is intended as a guidance for the journey towards sustainable development that we encourage our members, and the outdoor industry at large, to undertake.
The annual SOG Sustainability Insight Check is based on the EOG Sustainability Charter and offers members a status and progress review of their sustainability efforts as well as a mapping of support needs and collaboration opportunities within SOG.
