OIA launches sustainability section on its website

08/03/2018
The Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) has announced the addition of a new sustainability section to its website which will give users access to sustainable supply chain resources. 

The section, which can be accessed here, aims to further support OIA members and outdoor industry companies in their pursuit of a more sustainable business. 

It offers easy access to tools and resources developed by the OIA Sustainability Working Group (SWG), which has worked for over a decade to address supply chain issues. 

The launch of this new section comes after the SWG’s most recent meeting, which took place during the Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show in Denver at the end of January. 

“This year’s meetings attracted over 175 SWG members, reflecting the growing engagement throughout the industry on sustainable supply chain management,” said OIA’s senior director of sustainable business innovation, Beth Jensen. “With climate change central to OIA’s programming at the 2018 OR + SS, we know our business leaders want to be sure they are doing all they can to reduce their supply chain impact, while also advocating for smart climate solutions.”
