Salomon Publishes its 2024 Impact Report the third annual deep dive into our global sustainability strategy. This ediIon reflects another year of learning, evoluIon, and acIon as we conInue our transformaIon toward a more responsible outdoor and sportswear industry.
Nearly a decade aMer launching our first sustainability strategy, the 2024 report takes stock of the progress we’ve made against our core environmental and social commitments, with a parIcular focus on product circularity, community engagement, and collaboraIve efforts within the industry. The report also outlines how our “Change Our Future” strategy remains central to shaping our direcIon — and how new iniIaIves are helping extend product life cycles and strengthen our transiIon to circular business models.
“Our strategy is to establish Salomon as a modern mountain sport lifestyle brand that is inclusive, sustainable, and progressive,” explains Guillaume Meyzenq, Salomon President and CEO. “We are commied to embedding these values into all aspects of the company.”
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2024
Advancing Product Innova=on Through Circularity: We conInued to pioneer new approaches in sustainable product design:
- The S/LAB Phantasm 2 Made in France, our first road running super shoe produced locally at ASF 4.0 in Ardèche (France), combines carbon-fiber propulsion for high performance, with locally sourced materials, for the upper, for a reduced carbon footprint.
- The Brigade INDEX, the first fully recyclable ski and snowboard helmet, was launched aMer four years of R&D and made enIrely from recyclable polyolefins.
- In partnership with Carbios, we helped unveil the world’s first 100% fiber-to-fiber biorecycled tee-shirt, created from enzymaIcally recycled texIle waste — a breakthrough in material
Inves=ng in People and Culture: In March 2024, we rolled out our first anonymous global Employee Engagement Survey, achieving an engagement score of 7.9/10 — posiIoning us above industry benchmarks and offering valuable insights into our internal culture.
Employee training also remained a priority, with conInued deployment of our sustainability learning programs. Beyond foundaIonal sessions, our teams gained experIse in eco-design, responsible communicaIon, CRCS cerIficaIon, and more.
Building a More Inclusive Outdoor Community: In 2024, Salomon stepped up its efforts to improve accessibility by tesIng adapIve prosthesis prototypes for snowboarding, skiing, and ski touring alongside several athletes — devices that were then used throughout the winter season.
To mark the occasion, we hosted AdapIve Night at our Champs-Élysées flagship store. The event celebrated inclusive sport and was a major success — gathering athletes, partners, and community members around the latest innovaIons in adapIve equipment and apparel.
The Salomon FoundaIon also launched a new donaIon fund to support NGOs around the world working to make the outdoors more inclusive — complemenIng our ongoing mission to assist mountain professionals facing life-changing events.
