DEUTER – Social Report 2012

Published by Mountainblog on 05/28/2013.

This is it! The first Deuter social report is now available on the homepage and the Fair Wear Foundation’s (FWF) webpage.

Here, we cover in detail the Corporate Responsibility approach with a focus on the area “Employees & Suppliers”: Where do our products come from? How do we cooperate with our production partners? What is the state of working conditions in our supply chain? Yet also: what is special about Deuter as an employer? What is planned for 2013?

We provide a look behind the scene of our brand, and at the same time meet the reporting requirements of the FWF for 2012.
Enjoy reading and browsing through this report!

deuter backpacks have accompanied outdoors fans on their adventures for the past 125+ years. It is deuter’s close collaboration with professional mountaineers, physicians and athletes that helps guide the development of new concepts and new products. These include innovations like the ‘Aircomfort’, the first patented mesh back system, or the first ever bike-specific backpack on the market, and the ‘Exosphere’ stretchy sleeping bags. Under its SL label, deuter also designs women-specific backpacks that are tailored precisely to the female anatomy.

Environmental protection and sustainability underpin deuter’s corporate philosophy. deuter’s approach is one of ‘360° Corporate Responsibility’, which means ensuring sustainability throughout the entire lifecycle of its products; starting with the selection of durable, recycled materials, to the methods of production used by its longstanding manufacturing partners, and through to its lifelong worldwide repair service.
