Forward

The challenges we’re facing today require us

to radically change the way we do business

and the way our society functions.

Tackling this unprecedented

environmental impasse with limited

resources

will require us to deeply

and fully overhaul our business models,

modes of production, and circulation of

goods. That means f inding new solutions

and design tools that are more sustainable,

reparable, and recyclable, ensuring

the intrinsic value of our products.

These major projects will demand a healthy

dose of optimism and will.

OPTIMISM AND WILL

Climate news from the end of the year

has left no room for doubt. 2023 was

the warmest year on record since we

began collecting meteorological data.

The human race is facing alarming

circumstances outlined in the IPCC

Sixth Assessment Report

.

How can the leader of an industrial

company face this reality while ensuring

that their business remains f iscally

sustainable in a competitive market?

Every day, it challenges us to balance

“pessimism of the intellect, optimism

of the will”

.

This Impact Report outlines the work

put forth by all our teams to improve

the following: educating employees on

environmental topics via the Climate Fresk,

reducing resource consumption through

eco-friendly design, inform customers

about the impact of our products using Life

Cycle Analysis (LCA) data, and limiting the

impact of transporting goods by relocating

distribution centers closer to our customers.

Each topic is complex and requires

creativity, courage, and resources.

Petzl has decided to allocate 1% of revenue

over the next 3 years to funding these

transformative projects.
