Climate change (CO
2
kg equivalent) as a % of the VERTEX 3 helmet
On December 14
th
, Petzl welcomed over
thirty stakeholders from OSV (Outdoor
Sports Valley), a network of companies
committed to supporting recreation,
developing the outdoor industry economy,
and preserving natural spaces. This
collaborative day included sharing
information and ideas on how to measure
and market the environmental footprint
of products in the outdoor industry.
Other topics ranged from regulations,
measuring and reporting on Life Cycle
Analysis (LCA), and collectively engaging
outdoor brands in zero carbon initiatives.
Afterward, attendees formed inter-
company work groups to help further
progress on environmental issues. This
is one way that Petzl is working towards
f inding and sharing solutions that will
accelerate positive change within our
company.
In the “Climate Change” graphic, we can
see that extraction of raw materials is the
life cycle stage that represents the largest
environmental impact (57%). If we take a
closer look, one of the raw materials that
makes up a large portion of this is ABS at
49%, followed by PET (textile) at 19%. ABS
makes up around 50% of the total mass
of the helmet.
Our teams are currently working to f ind
solutions to reduce the impact of the shell
and materials from non-renewable sources,
ABS plastic being a major contributor.
4 - VERTEX 3 Helmet Example
We’ve already implemented many LCA pilot
projects, which led to major developments.
One such development is the new NEOX
®
belay device, which was covered in our
2022 Impact Report and will launch in 2024.
In 2023, we took a closer look at the
LCA of one of our top products in the
Professional market: the VERTEX helmet.
Working together, the product development
and CSR teams identif ied which helmet
components and materials were responsible
for the most signif icant environmental
impact.
