LE MANIFESTE VERT

Chez SCARPA, la durabilité est un impératif naturel ; elle a toujours guidé notre façon de faire des affaires.

Aucune chaussure ne peut être 100 % durable. C'est pourquoi notre objectif permanent est d'améliorer le profil de durabilité environnementale et sociale de chacune de nos activités, tout au long du cycle de vie, des matières premières au recyclage des produits.

NOUS SENTONS QUE NOUS AVONS UNE RESPONSABILITÉ ENVERS LES GÉNÉRATIONS D’AUJOURD’HUI ET DE DEMAIN.

Notre démarche vers l'innovation durable est concrète, assortie d'objectifs mesurables et basée sur les normes d'évaluation les plus rigoureuses au monde. Cela permet de clarifier la vision authentique de notre engagement, pour nous-mêmes et nos parties prenantes.

Care and attention are at the core of every SCARPA product, in order to achieve maximum quality and durability.

This, too, is sustainability: Care for the product, Care for people and Care for the Earth.

CARE - A MIX OF EXPERIENCE, CRAFTSMANSHIP, SKILL AND PASSION - IS WHAT GIVES EACH OF US AN IMPORTANT SENSE OF “SECURITY” THAT LETS US CONNECT WITH THE MOUNTAIN AND FULLY EXPERIENCE THE ENVIRONMENT.

You have the knowledge that your shoes - the extreme point of connection between a human being and planet Earth - will do their job and create a symbiotic relationship with the elements, be it or a: rock, snow, ice or soil. But for us care is also about concern and awareness, to ensure working conditions and processes are always respectful of nature and, most importantly, people.

At SCARPA, our vocation is the outdoors, the open air, an active yet relaxed lifestyle that prefers the slow-paced feel of a walk, the effort of the ascent and the enjoyment of contemplating the landscape.

Air and freedom are basic human needs. We are animals that have evolved over millions of years, interdependent with nature. Spend a few minutes in nature and you’ll quickly rediscover what moves you deep inside. We build houses, places for work and vehicles to travel faster, but our true nature is to live outside, breathe, move with our own bodies.

WALKING IS THE GREENEST AND MOST SUSTAINABLE WAY TO MOVE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER AND TURN EVERY JOURNEY INTO AN ADVENTURE.

This is because our desire to explore, to reach for the top can also be felt in the small things; it becomes a way of tackling situations, a metaphor for life. We are all connected by a single thread, like in a rope team.

For SCARPA, respect is the highest form of devotion and recognition. It is the very foundation of coexistence and regards not only relationships between human beings, but also those between human beings and the mountains, between human beings and the environment. 

Treat others the way you want to be treated is the Golden Rule that translates respect into practice, and it has been known throughout millennia by every culture on the planet. When you abide by this rule, everything improves. And vice-versa.

RESPECT MEANS TO LOOK AGAIN, TO LOOK BACK AND TO REGARD, WITH OUR OWN EYES AND THROUGH THE EYES OF OTHERS.

Mountaineers and climbers know it all too well: a mountain demands respect. The attention it deserves is without fear, but with the awareness that there’s no room for superficiality, that the only possible way to tackle an ascent is with a focused mind. Respect also means knowing the rules, adopting the best quality standards, certifying excellence with the humility of a quick learner. We want to do more. We want to make respect our way of life: everything we do stems from this awareness

SCARPA is a technical company. We have been at the cutting edge of technology ever since our inception.Our passion is to make the highest-performing products that are as sustainable as possible.

It is not about being first to the top; it is not about speed. It is about goals and results.

TO PERFORM MEANS TO GIVE SHAPE TO ONE’S DREAMS, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE, AND TO DO IT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE, WITH MAXIMUM SAFETY AND THE MAXIMUM RESPECT.

Our new eco products maintain the essential reliability that our customers have come to trust, while being sensitive to the environment: they use innovative technologies and processes, biodegradable and plant-based materials, non-polluting water-based adhesives and recycled paper packaging.

Our idea of performance embraces a broader philosophy, not just athletic results: it means being the best version of oneself at each moment and in every setting.

SCARPA is as you see it, authentic, no filters. Our history speaks volumes about us: opened in 1938, our company grew year after year through experiences, innovative ideas and goals.

A sustainable growth strategy, made to last. It has been a slow journey, traveled with preparation, humility, commitment and determination together with our partners and all the mountaineers and climbers who never stopped believing in us and helped us to better ourselves. And it has been a real journey, always at our customers’ side, the enthusiasts we have accompanied, supported and encouraged in their personal itinerary to do their personal best. No aim is too high when the strength that moves us is authentic and deeply rooted.
