SAVE THE MAGIC !

The rental business has been a big part of our corporate philosophy since the very beginning of Bründl Sports’ existence back in 1956.
Hans Bründl realized that he could bring the joys of skiing to even more people without them having to actually buy ski equipment of their own.

Did you know that the transformation of a linear economy to a circular economy is one of the essential factors for meeting the UN’s climate and sustainable development goals?

In that regard, the idea of renting out skiing and biking equipment, and even clothing, plays a significant role. That said, Bründl Sports has committed itself to focusing on this topic within the context of a comprehensive sustainability strategy. 

Once the snow has melted, the reality comes to light. Beneath the lift lines inside the ski areas, trash accumulates in the form of beer cans, ski poles and even clothing – the haul every year is enormous. A number of Bründl Sports employees decided to tackle the Areit piste as well as the Glocknerwiese in Zell am See. – This time, not on skis, but on foot instead, equipped with trash bags and garbage tongs. They removed the remains of the past winter season as their shared contribution to a clean, healthy and trash-free skiing future.

Here at Bründl Sports, we are 100% committed to a holistic, integrated sustainability strategy in everything we do. Which means, we don’t have a separate “department of sustainability”. Instead, sustainability is pursued actively in all of our departments. All employees are affected by and involved in the process.

The consequences of global warming are becoming more and more tangible. Something has to be done urgently to combat human-driven climate change. We have realized that voluntary emissions reductions on the part of the business community are essential in order to counteract climate change effectively. That’s why, in cooperation with the sustainability consulting company Fokus Zukunft, we went ahead and measured the ecological footprint of our company. Why? Our foremost goal is to reduce emissions, if not eliminate them completely. And for those emissions that cannot be reduced, to compensate them.
