What Is an Eco-Friendly Design Initiative? Eco-friendly design begins with Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). LCA helps us calculate the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle — from sourcing raw materials, to how the product is used, all the way until disposal at the end of its life. This analysis allows us to compare different design scenarios and choose the one with the lowest impact. Here is some info about LCA for Petzl products: ⚙️ It’s a custom-made tool designed to analyze the impact of a product's life cycle 🌎 It analyzes five key environmental indicators ⛑ It's now required for all new Petzl products 💪 It allows us to compare different design scenarios ⛰ It led us to hire experts to source sustainable materials and carry out environmental analysis 🌱 It includes ecological transition training Learn more about our eco-design initiative: https://lnkd.in/e3YNvv7X

The Petzl Foundation's mission is to support projects of public interest related to the mountains and the vertical world. The Foundation has three objectives: 🌱 Support ecological transition: The Foundation supports projects aimed at capturing or reducing carbon emissions in the mountains, preserving biodiversity, and promoting awareness of climate change for a sustainable future in mountain regions. 🏔 Prevent accidents: The Petzl Foundation engages in technical training, develops specific safety tools, and contributes to improving knowledge of accidentology. 🌎 Explore the vertical world: By funding research, conferences, and exhibitions, the Petzl Foundation shares new knowledge with mountain communities. The Foundation also supports various associations that aim to bring hope to marginalized communities through mountain activities. 📸 : Emile Annequin (Ecotrivelo); International Technical Rescue Association; alpesphotographies To learn more about the projects of the Petzl Foundation, link in the comments ⬇️

To better manage avalanche risks, choosing a suitable route is a crucial step. In collaboration with IGN (French National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information), the Petzl Foundation is able to help winter sports enthusiasts in their decision-making. 👉 IGN is an organization specialized in the production and dissemination of geographic information, operating on the Geoportail. Following the distribution of the slope map with inclinations greater than 30° in the French Alps, the angle at which an avalanche can trigger, the Petzl Foundation and IGN entered into a new partnership in 2023 to broadcast winter hiking routes on the digital maps via Geoportail. Today, nearly 3500 routes have already been digitized by the Petzl Foundation with the support of the Skitourenguru application. These routes, avoiding the most avalanche-prone terrains, will help you better prepare for your winter hikes.

Avalanches: How Can We Reduce the Risks? Choosing a route with snow conditions in mind is an important step in winter hiking. For the past 10 years, the Petzl Foundation has been supporting the development of new tools to reduce accidents in the French Alps. Digitizing routes that bypass the most avalanche-prone areas, disseminating slope maps to hut hosts and on the Geoportail, these projects are carried out in collaboration with IGN (French National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information). The Petzl Foundation also supports mobile avalanche prevention applications such as Skitourenguru and Yéti, with the goal of helping you find joy and serenity on days out in the mountains.

A study supported by the Petzl Foundation confirms that climate change is impacting the duration of the ice climbing season, as well as the quality of the ice. Click the link below to learn more. 📸 Marc Daviet #Petzl #iceclimbing https://lnkd.in/d4nA9SN2

A Collaborative Effort to Address Environmental Issues. On December 14th, Petzl welcomed over 50 stakeholders from the OSV (Outdoor Sports Valley), a network of companies committed to the economic development of the outdoor industry, promoting recreation, and preserving natural spaces. This collaborative day included sharing information and ideas on how to measure and communicate the environmental footprint of products in the outdoor industry. Other conversations covered topics ranging from regulations, measuring and reporting on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), and collectively engaging outdoor brands in zero carbon initiatives.
