New members for outdoor association
The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) has added three members, taking the total to 120.
Peaxz, a search and advisory consulting firm, outdoor gear provider Thule and PR agency Chrissy Dorn Business Development Outdoor & Sports join the organisation that donates to grassroots conservation groups and is funded by membership and other fundraising activities.
Pontus Alexandersson, environmental manager for Thule Group, said: “Thule is very keen to conduct its business with as little impact on the environment as possible, seeing it not only as the right thing to do, but that the company’s entire success depends on its employees, customers, and consumers being able to enjoy an active lifestyle in a healthy outdoor environment.”
In addition to the members, EOCA has appointed Kathy Velander, director of the Centre for Ecotourism and Wildlife Management of Edinburgh Napier University, to its scientific panel to advise on the most worthwhile projects from a conservation point of view.
