EOCA praises Vaude and Smartwool as ‘conservation champions’

25/09/2015

The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) has praised Smartwool and German outdoor brand Vaude for their efforts to raise money for the association and named them Conservation Champions for 2015.

Smartwool has supplied a sock vending machine to the ISPO and OutDoor trade shows for the past two years, raising €8,000.  

Vaude has made significant donations to EOCA and supported launch of an EOCA-funded project in Romania.

Catherine Savidge, joint general manager of EOCA, said: “These two companies are each passionate about the great outdoors and their responsibility towards it and have both come up with novel ways of raising additional funds for conservation.”
