HAGLÖFS: THE ONLY NORDIC OUTDOOR BRAND IN FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION

Haglöfs has been a member of Fair Wear Foundation since 2012 and is today the only Nordic outdoor brand on the member list.

Fair Wear Foundation - FWF for short - works with clothing manufacturers and all other relevant parties to monitor and improve workplace conditions in several production countries across Asia, Europe and Africa. It does this by encouraging its 120 member brands to work together, sharing their expertise in order to make their factories better places for their employees. FWF combats injustice, improves dangerous and otherwise poor working conditions, and monitors pay.

Joining FWF is a way for companies to improve the sustainability of their entire supply chains. Haglöfs is a proud member of the foundation since 2012- in fact, it's the only Nordic outdoor brand currently on the member list. Along with the other carefully-chosen sustainability partners FWF work with, they help Haglöfs be transparent about how what they do affects the people they work with.

Yearly FWF publicly reports on Haglöfs’ and the other members’ progress. The results from FWF’s most recent brand performance check shows among others that Haglöfs has improved its overall performance with 10% compared to the previous period. The full report can be found here: https://www.fairwear.org/resource/haglofs-performance-check-2016/

Fair Wear Foundation's website, with a list of the standards and all participating brands, can be found here: www.fairwear.org

Welcome to Haglöfs!

We come from Sweden, a country of extreme weather and extensive landscape. A place where the outdoors isn’t just a far off place, it’s in the fabric of our culture and community. We are committed to creating gear that will support anyone, anywhere in their own outdoor adventure. We were founded in 1914 by Wiktor Haglöf, a visionary with a dream and a toolbox. Our story has evolved from humble beginnings, and we’ve ventured into new territory, creating technical designs that set a new standard in craftsmanship.

At Haglöfs, we are Outsiders by Nature. We draw outside the lines, think outside the box, and live outside our comfort zones. We encourage exploration both physically and mentally through embracing the outdoors. We believe that everyone can experience the outdoors, and do all we can to ensure that it will still be there for future generations to explore.
