    ADVOCATES FOR PEOPLE AND THE SPORT

    In recent years, the FWT has undertaken an ongoing improvement initiative, dedicating itself to an annual sustainability program with a focus on long-term objectives. This program centers on reducing carbon impact, enhancing mobility, promoting gender equality, and prioritizing safety.

    As expectations continue to evolve across the outdoor and sporting landscape, both the GORE-TEX® Brand and the FWT recognize the importance of continuously reviewing and strengthening their approaches and initiatives.

    Through this collaboration, we aim to underscore our shared commitment by supporting emerging talents as they pursue their individual aspirations. The GORE-TEX® Brand and the FWT both place strong emphasis on sustainability-related efforts and gender equality within their respective programs. Together, they work to support a more inclusive and responsible future for the sport.
