Salomon Publishes Its 2024 Impact Report

Salomon has released its 2024 Impact Report, the third annual review of the brand’s sustainability progress and ambitions. The report outlines how Salomon is advancing its “Change Our Future” strategy through actions focused on circularity, community engagement, and industry collaboration.

“Our strategy is to establish Salomon as a modern mountain sport lifestyle brand that is inclusive, sustainable, and progressive. We are committed to embedding these values into everything we do.” said  Guillaume Meyzenq, President & CEO, Salomon

Nearly a decade after launching their first sustainability strategy, the 2024 report takes stock of the progress they’ve made against  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  “Change Our Future” strategy remains central to shaping Salomon's direction — and how new initiatives are helping extend product life cycles and strengthen transition to circular business models.
